Sommot Amon Mak Bridge, Registered historic bridge at Samran Rat intersection, Thailand
The Sommot Amon Mak Bridge spans across Khlong Bang Lamphu, connecting Bamrung Mueang Road between the Samran Rat and Ban Bat districts of Bangkok.
The bridge, constructed in 1901, underwent a transformation from its original steel structure to concrete during the reign of King Chulalongkorn to maintain its functionality.
This crossing point earned the name Saphan Lek Pratu Phi, meaning Iron Bridge at Ghost Gate, due to its historical function as a transport route for deceased individuals.
The bridge serves as a primary connection point between different sections of Bangkok, facilitating movement through the Samran Rat intersection and Bamrung Mueang Road.
The structure features Ionic style banisters and stands near the former location of a cement crematorium that operated during severe cholera epidemics in Bangkok.
