Chamai Maru Chet Bridge, Historic bridge in Dusit, Thailand
Chamai Maru Chet Bridge crosses Khlong Prem Prachakon canal along Phitsanulok Road with four traffic lanes running in each direction. Elevated pedestrian walkways run on both sides, allowing safe passage over the waterway.
Princess Valaya Alongkorn started construction in 1901 at age 15 as a memorial to her deceased brothers. The bridge was completed by January 1902.
The name combines Khmer and Thai words chosen by King Chulalongkorn to honor royal family members who had passed away. This linguistic blend reflects how the monarchy connected different cultural traditions through language.
The bridge sits at a four-way intersection joining Rama V Road and Phitsanulok Road. Its location provides direct access to Government House and nearby institutions in the area.
The bridge preserves its original early 1900s structure as a registered historic site. It represents an unusual form of royal memorial, built by a young princess to mourn her brothers through infrastructure rather than traditional monuments.
