Mon Bridge…the longest wooden bridge in Thailand From the beginning, local people called this bridge as “One Baht Bridge”. It was built of bamboos tied together like a long raft across the river, but left open in the middle. So, when people wanted to cross the river, they had to pay one. Thai Baht then staff would pull the bamboo raft to connect the bridge.

After that, Luang Pau Utama, who is a distinguished and venerable monk, thought of helping people not to pay for crossing the river every day. He decided to have Mon people build a bridge of excellent woods. Eight months later, in 1987, the bridge had been done by labor and faith from Mon people without use of any engine at all.

It was formally named as “Utamanusorn Bridge” It was formally named as “Utamanusorn Bridge”. However, local people just call it “Sa-Paan Mon” as it is shorter and easier. (Bridge means “Sa-Paan” in Thai) Also, with its 438 meters length, Mon Bridge becomes the longest wooden bridge in Thailand.

Walking along the bridge will let you see a tremendous panorama of the lake behind Wachiralongkorn Dam and the are a where three rivers become one.
