  1. Bhumibol Bridge is a bridge crossing two sections of the Chao-phya River. Chao-phya snaked through this area of the city. The double-back of the river require the bridge to cross the water twice. Beyond that the Bhumipol Bridge is also an Industrial Ring Road Bridge in order to connect King Bhumipol’s dream project of Ring Road to ease Bangkok traffic. This bridge became the main thoroughfare of the city residences without realizing its amazing uniqueness. The must-do recommendation for interest party of the bridge is to view the project from a map before driving across it. This is another amazing feature in Thailand among the numerous others and then visitor will realize how our dear late king is deeply missed.

  2. I visited November 2016I like big structures and this bridge is certainly big. I love how the connecting roads all snake round to join it. It stretches as far as the eye can see and is quite a sight. So if like me you like big structures and places to see that are different then go along for a while.

  3. Also known as Rama IX Bridge, this impressive structure, completed in 1987, carries a huge volume of vehicle traffic. The height of the bridge adds to its appeal.

  4. This is a very huge bridge and the structure is amazing and grand. It goes across the Chao Phraya river and you will have a very nice view of the city and the surrounding area.

  5. The Bhumipol Bridge is a combined bridge connecting Bangkok / Praram3 and Samutprakan /Prapadang. Bridges per se are so impressive in design and construction. Sitting in restaurants under the overpass , looking up , seems like someone drew curvy lines under and over each other, way high overhead us, fantastic masterpiece of mankind, great job indeed. Moreover, under bridges are parks for recreation , nice restaurants, local wet markets and shuttle barge across Chaophya River which is still popular for local people, motorbikes and cars. Even it is still in the suburb of BKK , not very far, ways of livings are different. People are not in rush like central Bkk, lives along the river seem more peaceful with lots of beautiful Wats. Cost of living is lower . recommend to be there in the late afternoon time , having supper along the bank of he river, watching big container ships sailing along, once in a good while, leaving you sooo memorizing feeling. It’s cool and breezy also. When getting dark , bridges will be equipped with gorgeous lights. During weekends , BangNum Pung water market is not far away. This market is an interesting place to tour around which might as well worth a good try, cheers.

  6. We went to opening ceremony for new Rama X bridge. The new Rama X bridge is next to Rama IX bridge. The new bridge is beautiful. The opening ceremony has food stalls and music. The hike to the middle of the bridge is about 1.5 km.
