Phan Fa Lilat bridge, Historic bridge in Bowon Niwet, Thailand.
Phan Fa Lilat Bridge spans the Bang Lamphu canal along Ratchadamnoen Avenue, connecting the central and outer sections of this major thoroughfare in Bangkok.
The bridge emerged during Bangkok's modernization between 1899 and 1901 under King Chulalongkorn's reign, marking a significant period of urban development in Thailand.
The bridge has served as a central location for numerous political demonstrations throughout Thai history, including the significant events of October 1973 and May 1992.
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration maintains the bridge's structure, ensuring safe passage for the high volume of daily traffic crossing the Bang Lamphu canal.
The name Phan Fa Lilat translates to 'bridge on which the ruler of heaven proceeds,' reflecting the structure's deep connection to Thai royal heritage.
