Set a short ride outside of Hua Hin is Rajabhakti Park, which has seven magnificent statues of soldiers through various eras. Each statue is 14 metres high, and the detail is incredible on each one of them. We sneaked around the back of the statues also, and the detail is continued on all sides. (So they are as good from the back as they are from the front.)
They sit at the top of a parade ground, which is well marked out with white spots which I guess are used when they have a military event here. Given the space and parking around this area, and the number of white spots, they must have thousands of soldiers here when on parade. Next door there is a military college, so I guess it makes sense to have this parade ground here.
