Road to Democracy Audio Tour: Discover Thailand’s volatile modern politics

Bangkok Trip Overview

Join me on this self guided audio tour. Democracy Monument was built in 1939 to mark the end of absolute monarchy in Thailand and the introduction of a “people’s constitution”. It was really just the beginning of a decades-long struggle to achieve a truly representative political system. Many of the most momentous milestones in that battle have taken place on the stretch between Thammasat University and Democracy Monument. This is essentially a stroll through Thailand’s modern political history.
