Chaliam La 56 bridge, Historic bridge at Phaya Thai Road, Bangkok, Thailand.
The Chaliam La 56 bridge extends across the Khlong Saen Saep canal, connecting the Ratchathewi district with the Wang Mai sub-district in Pathum Wan.
Opened on November 15, 1909, the bridge received official recognition as an ancient monument by Thai authorities on March 18, 1975.
The structure, also known as Hua Chang Bridge meaning 'elephant's head bridge', represents early 20th-century engineering developments during King Rama V's reign.
The bridge functions as a major transportation route in Bangkok, accommodating both vehicle and pedestrian traffic while providing access across the waterway.
This structure belongs to the Chaloem bridge series, standing as one of only three remaining bridges from this historical collection in Bangkok.
