Su Tong Pae Bridge

Located in breathtaking Mae Hong Son province, the drive to get to this ancient bamboo bridge is worth the journey itself, meandering through the remote, mountainous region of northern Thailand bordering Myanmar to the West – often seen by a journey along the 600-kilometer Mae Hong Son Loop.

The bridge was constructed generations ago by local villagers and monks over land donated from the local rice plantation owners, and is still used daily for locals to traverse the expansive rice fields. The bridge, a source of pride among the local community, translates to “successful prayer” in the local Burmese-influenced dialect of Thai Yai.
