De mon bridge about the lake Sangklaburi (province Kanchanaburi) is a special attraction. At 850 meters long, it is the longest wooden bridge in Thailand and the second longest pedestrian bridge in the world.

In July 2013, during a violent storm with a lot of wind and rain, part of the bridge collapsed. Fortunately no one was hurt, but it was a disaster for the villagers who used the bridge every day. The mayor quickly decided that they needed a temporary floating bridge and it was soon made, entirely of bamboo wood.

It was estimated that it would take at least three weeks to complete the bridge, but the villagers joined forces and built the bridge in six days!

The Mon bridge is a beautiful must see in Sangkhlaburi, especially during sunrise and sunset. The bridge is not made for cars and other means of transport, so you have to walk a bit to reach the other side. But it's really worth it.
