The statue was erected in front of the Victoria Memorial Hall on 25 June 1872 as a gift by King Chulalongkorn of Thailand to commemorate his 1871 visit to Singapore in the Straits Settlements.

The inscriptions on the pedestal, which are in English, Chinese, Siamese, and Jawi, read, "His Majesty Somdetch Paramindr Maha Chulalongkorn, the Supreme King of Siam, landed at Singapore, the first foreign land visited by a Siamese Monarch, on the 16th March, 1871". <gallery> File:At Singapore 2023 084.jpg|English File:At Singapore 2023 085.jpg|Chinese File:At Singapore 2023 086.jpg|Thai File:At Singapore 2023 087.jpg|Jawi…
