About the place

Two Heroines Monument marks the central junction where historic defense meets modern transit.

Two Heroines Monument commemorates Chan and Mook, the sisters who led island residents against invading troops during a protracted historical siege. The bronze figures stand on a raised plinth in Thalang, wielding swords to represent civic resistance. Most arrivals encounter the memorial from a bus or car window, because it occupies the central traffic circle on the main north-south highway from the airport.

No zebra crossings lead across the multilane ring road, making approach on foot hazardous amid relentless vehicle flow. Settlers use the landmark to time commutes, calculate bypass routes toward western beaches, and gauge traffic volume along the central corridor.
