White Bridge Thachomphu: Historical Landmark and Train

#GetDiscountWithoutLuck 🌟 White Bridge Tachomphu: A historical landmark with mountain views and trains in Lamphun 📜 Outstanding history and architecture Hundred-year bridge: Built between 1918–1920 during the reign of King Rama VI with white-painted reinforced concrete instead of the original steel structure due to shortages during World War I Unique curved shape: Influenced by Western architecture, it is the only railway bridge in Thailand with a perfect curve, contrasting with the green mountain backdrop Extremely challenging engineering: Designed by German engineers and supervised by His Royal Highness Prince Kamphaengphet Akharayothin, it was precisely calculated and can still be used today 🚞 Mountain viewpoint + train: Must-see highlights Panoramic view: The bridge crosses the Mae Tha River, surrounded by lush green forests and rice fields Especially in the morning (06:00–08:00) and evening (16:00–18:00) when the soft light hits the bridge, giving a "million-dollar view" feel. 368 The symbolic train of Khun Tan: The train will run across the bridge at a low speed. Tourists can safely take pictures with the train as a background (with an officer to announce warnings). 2 Recommended train schedule: 11:00, 13:30 (usually on time) and 18:00 (the evening light is the most beautiful). The train whistle echoes through the valley, adding a classic atmosphere. ðŸŒŋ Activities and surrounding atmosphere Riverside relaxation spot: At the foot of the bridge, there is a simple-style restaurant and cafe. Sit and sip a drink while enjoying the view of the Mae Ta River and the Gassan Golf Course opposite. A very romantic wedding: Every February 14, couples come to register their marriage at this bridge. Connect Khun Tan Tunnel: Only 30 minutes away, you can travel together to experience the longest railway tunnel in Thailand (1,352 meters) and the Khun Tan Mountain Viewpoint. ðŸ“ļ Photo techniques that guarantee signatures Classic angle: Stand on the bridge with the train as the background, or take a photo from below to emphasize the height of the white arch. Drone angle: Record a high-angle shot of the curve of the railway track intersecting with the mountain range (must request permission in advance) Wear vintage clothing: To match the retro atmosphere, enhance the mood of the picture. 🚗 Travel information and things to know Location: Ban Ta Chomphu, Tambon Tha Pla Duk, Amphoe Mae Tha, Lamphun Province (30 km from Lamphun city) Getting there: Private car: From the superhighway (Highway 11), turn into a paved alley 8 km deep. There is a free parking lot. Train: Get off at Khun Tan Station and take a local car to the bridge. (Takes about 30 minutes) No admission fee, open 24 hours, but recommended to come during daytime for safety Prepare: Hat/umbrella + sunscreen
