With a total length of 3 kilometers, the Rama IX Bridge (Saphan Kwan) is the world's longest single-plane cable-stayed bridge. The distance between the two main supports is 450 meters.
Spanning the Chao Phraya River between the port area to the north and Dao Khanong to the south, the expressway road bridge was completed and opened to the public on December 5, 1987 to coincide with His Majesty the King's 60th birthday. Viewed from the east at sundown, the bridge presents an excellent subject for photographers.
