Wang Pho Viaduct, Railway bridge in Kanchanaburi, Thailand.
The Wang Pho Viaduct extends 400 meters along limestone cliffs, following the curves of the Khwae Noi River with wooden trestles supporting the railway tracks.
Constructed in 1943 by Allied prisoners of war and Thai laborers, the viaduct formed a critical section of the Burma Railway during World War II.
The railway bridge represents the connection between Thailand and Myanmar, contributing to regional transportation development and local economic growth.
Visitors can observe the viaduct from the Wang Pho railway station or experience it directly by taking a train journey on the Southern Line.
The construction required workers to create support structures against vertical cliff faces, resulting in a railway bridge that combines wooden architecture with natural rock formations.
