Photographer’s Note

Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge
The First Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge is a bridge over the Mekong, connecting Nong Khai province and the city of Nong Khai in Thailand with Vientiane in Laos. With a length of 1170 m, the bridge has two 3.5 meters wide road lanes, two 1.5 meters wide footpaths and a single meter gauge railway line in the middle, straddling the narrow central reservation.

Second Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge
The Second Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge over the Mekong connects Mukdahan Province in Thailand with Savannakhet in Laos. The bridge is 1600 meters long and 12 meters wide, with two traffic lanes.
Traffic on the bridge drives on the right, as in Laos, while traffic in Thailand drives on the left; the change-over is on the Thai side.
The bridge is open only to cars, trucks and buses. No other vehicles or pedestrians are allowed to cross.
Have a good trip

Hello Chirasak,

This is a wide view of this impressive bridge structure. The angle is a little tilted and the colours very washed out however you chose an excellent point of view. Nice attemtp at a panoramic shot and best of luck. Thanks Chirasak :-)

hi Chirasak

Are you engineer? This is nice shot of bridge linking 2 countries and you give a good Note information. Really nice to see 2 bridges linking Laos and Thailand. Good composed view of the Mekong River and bridge in diagonal.

A low bridge and a long one too. In this river ciculate any big ships or only tiny boats? A very nice place to cross from one side to the other. Best regards. Domingos
