Mon Bridge

It is the longest wooden bridge in Thailand and it was built for comfortable transportation of people living in Sangkhlaburi and Mon Villagers. Nowadays the bridge is closed for vehicles but you can still walk over the wooden bridge. The bridge is a popular place to see an unforgettable sunset or sunrise at the dam. You also can take a bath like the Mon kids.

This photogenic pedestrian bridge is the longest wooden bridge in Thailand. It connects Sangkhla Buri to the Mon Hilltribe Village. It is in use everyday and regularly maintained. We visited at New Year 2020, so there were many people giving food to Buddhist monks early morning on January 1st. It is really worth the trip to see it!

Khao Laem Lake

Reviewed By tzraik - Mableton, United States

Khao Laem Lake is a big lake behind Vajiralongkorn damm. After building the damm villages and their temples where flooded and the temple went partially or totally underwater. You can take a boat tour from Mon bridge, which is the longest wooden pedestrian bridge in Thailand. The boat would take you to the sites of underwater temples and to historic temples that are still on dry banks. It is a far away, few hours car drive from Bangkok to near Myanmar border beyond Kanchanaburi but worth visiting. Mon bridge in Sangkhla buri is fun to walk on at sunrise to look at the lake and the mist/fog on its surface.

Wat Wang Wiwekaram

Reviewed By Don_Muang

We think this special temple is very beautiful and pleasant to visit. The other buildings in the temple complex are also beautiful. The best time to visit if you want to get a good photo is about 3 pm when the sun strikes the from of the building.

The Underwater Temple

Reviewed By Don_Muang

This is the only place left above water when the dam flooded the village. Convenient and inexpensive boat rides are readily available, so many people visit it. We've been there 3 times, but it's never been crowded. An excellent choice for Buddhists and photographers alike!

Mon Village

Reviewed By Shelvet - Elkton, United States

I've been to Mon Village three times - its a nice village with beautiful views, Get some local rice soup for breakfast and offer food to the monks in the morning. Take a boat ride to the sunken temples.
