This monument in Changwat Nong Khai commemorates those persons who died in the suppression of the Haw Tribal Rebellion in the year 1866. His Royal Highness Krommaluang Prachak Silpakhom ordered this monument to be built at Muang Nong Khai so that the ashes of the combat heroes in the Haw Tribal Suppression Campaign could be buried inside. It is situated behind the Nong Khai Provincial Police Station. Later, in 1949, Changwat Nong Khai obtained a budget to renovate the monument to dignify the honour of those who sacrificed their lives. The construction site of the monument was then moved to the present location or the three-way intersection for entering into Nong Khai township The inscriptions are in four languages: Thai, Chinese, Laotian, and English, each side of the pedestal having one language. The province celebrates by paying homage during an annual fair held on March 9-15 of every year.
