Rama III Bridge

Rama III Bridge is a road bridge crossing the Chao Phraya River and connects Thon Buri with the opposite bank. The structure spans a considerable distance and was built from concrete to support heavy traffic loads.

The bridge opened in 2000 and helped improve traffic flow in Bangkok. It was an important addition to the road network during a period of rapid urban growth.

The bridge design incorporates elements of Thai architectural principles while maintaining its modern engineering requirements for urban transportation across the Chao Phraya River.

Several bus lines run regularly across the bridge and connect communities on both sides of the river. The best way to cross depends on whether you are traveling by car or using public transportation.

The bridge combines prestressed concrete technology with cantilever engineering principles to achieve its substantial span across the Chao Phraya River.
