Thawet Naruemit bridge, Historic bridge in Wachira Phayaban, Thailand

The Thawet Naruemit Bridge stretches across Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem canal, connecting multiple districts of Bangkok through its steel and concrete structure.

King Chulalongkorn inaugurated this bridge on June 30, 1899, making it the first bridge to span Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem during his reign.

The name of the bridge derives from the Hindu deity Lord Shiva, reflecting the strong influence of Hindu traditions in Thai architecture and naming conventions.

The bridge serves as a transportation hub with Thewet Pier N15 nearby, offering access to the Chao Phraya Express Boat service and multiple bus connections.

The structure underwent a complete restoration in 1975 and received additional renovations in 2021 to maintain its original architectural elements.
