Ratsadaphisek Bridge

The reinforced concrete bridge spans across the Wang River, connecting the inner and outer sections of Lampang city with its white painted structure.

Initially constructed as a wooden bridge in 1894 to commemorate King Chulalongkorn's 25th year accession, it was rebuilt in concrete in 1917 after multiple collapses.

White rooster emblems and royal garuda decorations at the bridgehead reflect traditional Thai architectural elements and local symbolism.

The bridge provides essential transportation access while offering pedestrian walkways, with a night market operating at its inner city entrance during weekends.

During World War II, the structure received camouflage paint to prevent Allied bombing, as military forces were informed of its non-strategic nature.
