Phuket Heroines Monument
More than two centuries ago, the Burmese tried to invade Thailand and two brave sisters, Lady Chan and Lady Mook led their village, among which there were many women, and they fought back the invaders. The story became a legend, and still nowadays, Thai people consider these two brave women as a kind of eastern Joan of Arc, and many women have been inspired by their energy and fierceness. In fact, at the bottom of the monument, there’s also a little shrine in which Thai people put little gifts and garlands as a tribute to the sisters.
