[2025 Bangkok Attraction] Travel Guide for Bhumibol Bridge (Industrial Ring Road Bridge) (Updated May)

The Bhumibol Bridge is a bridge that crosses the Chao Phraya River for the Industrial Ring Road, connecting Rama III Road, Pu Chao Saming Phrai Road, and Suksawat Road (Bhumibol Bridge 1) between Bang Phongphang, Yan Nawa District, Bangkok, and Song Khanong Subdistrict, Phra Pradaeng District, Samut Prakan Province to the south, or (Bhumibol Bridge 2) to address traffic and transportation of goods issues. The Bhumibol Bridge, informally known as the Mega Bridge, is a bridge that crosses the Chao Phraya River for the Industrial Ring Road, connecting Rama III Road, Pu Chao Saming Phrai Road, and Suksawat Road. It features a suspension design with 7 traffic lanes. Construction began on October 1, 2001, and the bridge was first opened for trial use on September 20, 2006, with full traffic operations starting on December 5, 2006. The project is a result of the royal initiative of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the Great.

The bridge that His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej built to alleviate traffic problems. In the past, when cars wanted to cross from Phra Pradaeng to Pu Chao Saming Phrai, they had to take a car ferry. Most of them were trucks, which caused severe traffic congestion in Phra Pradaeng. With His Majesty's great power, we were able to travel very conveniently today. #Go to a chic cafe #Organize a sea trip #Visit an amusement park #Thailand

Bangkok or Krung Thep, “City of Angels“, is like our home away from home. We simply love this vibrant and urban big city with all its life, delicious street food, green and lush parks, a network of rivers, amazing shopping, some of the biggest markets in the world, and of course, its friendly people. We have visited Bangkok many times, often staying for months before reluctantly leaving, and each time we come back we fall deeper and deeper in love with this amazing city! It is one of my bucketlist! i cant wait to be there again! #MaydayTrip #urbanexplorer
