Why visit

Opened in 1984, Phra Pokklao Bridge carries road traffic between Prachathipok Road on the Thonburi side and Chakkraphet Road on the old-city side. Its two carriageways run beside Memorial Bridge, the older steel crossing. The former rail reservation between the road decks now holds Chao Phraya Sky Park, a separate route for people crossing on foot.

The Thonburi approach meets Prachathipok Road in Somdet Chao Phraya, Khlong San. The other end meets Chakkraphet Road in Wang Burapha Phirom, Phra Nakhon. The map point is on the crossing, so use the appropriate road approach for your direction of travel.

Crossing on foot

Chao Phraya Sky Park is the elevated path between the carriageways. Use the park’s own entrances and opening information. The nearby steel Memorial Bridge is a separate crossing, and the road bridge has no ticket counter or visitor opening hours.
