A showpiece of modern architecture in Bangkok, the King Rama XIII bridge was completed in 2002 and named after King Ananda, the King's older brother who died under mysterious circumstances in 1946 at the age of 21. The 475-metres long gold-painted cable-stayed span bridge is built with 84 cables supporting a single tower. The bridge is printed on the Thai 20-baht bills behind a portrait of King Ananda.
At night the bridge is beautifully lighted and a view worth watching.
