Rao Su (we fight!) Monument, located in tambon Non Din Daeng is a war memorial. It represents the struggle against communist insurgents in the 1970’s.
The monument was built in 1979 in memory of people, civil officials, policemen and soldiers who jointly fought against communist terrorists who tried to resist the construction of the Lahn Sai – Ta Phraya Road (Highway No. 348). Built between 1974 and 1979, this 57 kilometre strategic road was designed to enhance security in the Thailand-Cambodia borderland. The road cut through an area controlled by the communist insurgents who waged a violent struggle against the road construction by densely planting landmines and attacking the security forces’ base guarding the construction. With the cooperation of the people and government officials who bravely fought the enemy, the road was finally completed after five years and eight months. 108 lives were lost with 222 other casualties. The monument was granted royal permission to use the name of the song, ‘Rao Su’, composed by his Majesty the King. General Prem Tinsulanonda came to lay the foundation stone on 27th August 1979 and presided over the opening ceremony on the 26th of August 1980.
