Shrine of King Taksin the Great, Rayong

Shrine of King Taksin the Great is a shrine in Wat Lum Mahachai Chumphon, Taksin Road, in the town of Rayong, Thailand. It is dedicated to King Taksin the Great, the revered king who established the capital of Siam in Thonburi, after the fall of Ayutthaya to the Burmese in 1767.

The shrine marks the spot where King Taksin the Great tied his elephants to a tree. Having gathered men in Chonburi and Rayong, Taksin proceeded to Chanthaburi, which was where he brought down the Burmese army.

With the victory in Chanthaburi, General Taksin was eventually crowned King Taksin the Great of Siam in Thonburi.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
