Heroines Monument
อนุสาวรีย์ท้าวเทพกระษัตรีท้าวศรีสุนทร
A monument honoring two sisters who led resistance against the Burmese army in 1785, a symbol of protection for Phuket people, located in the center of a roundabout on the airport road.
The monument stands in the center of a roundabout in Thalang District and features two statues of women holding swords, representing the sisters Chan and Mook. In 1785, a large Burmese army besieged Thalang, and the sisters organized the local people to hold out for more than a month, forcing the enemy to withdraw. They were later granted the titles 'Thao Thepkasattri' and 'Thao Srisunthon'. The nearby Thalang National Museum presents this history and the island's tin mining culture. The monument is on the main road to the airport, so you can stop briefly for photos, but be careful of traffic.
