Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge

The Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge extends 420 meters across the Moei River with a width of 13 meters to accommodate vehicles and pedestrians.

The construction of this first border crossing between Thailand and Myanmar began in 1996 and reached completion with its inauguration in August 1997.

The bridge connects communities from Tak Province in Thailand and Kayin State in Myanmar, enabling regular exchanges between both populations.

Border crossings require valid passports, visas, and compliance with immigration procedures at checkpoints situated at each end of the bridge.

This structure marks the endpoint of Thai Highway 12 and forms part of the Asian Highway 1 network connecting multiple Southeast Asian nations.
