Sarasin Bridge

Sarasin Bridge (13 July, 2004)


Sarasin Bridge (GPS: 8.2019, 98.29803) is the first of the two bridges linking Phuket to Phangnga Province. It was built in 1967, and was joined by the new Thao Thepkrasattri Bridge, when the volume of traffic entering Phuket from the Thai mainland could no longer be handled by Sarasin Bridge. In 2011, Sarasin Bridge was turned into a pedestrian bridge, with a view point pavilion erected in the middle.

I managed to photograph Sarasin Bridge before the renovation, and the photo above, taken in 2004, shows Sarasin Bridge when it was still carrying vehicular traffic.
