Tham Krasae Bridge - Walkable?

[Crossy]

Many (many, many) moons ago I and some friends walked the Tham Krasae Bridge.

 

Now some other friends are coming from the UK and would like to do the same.

 

The plan would be:-

• Drive to Tham Krasae Bridge station.
• Ride the train to Tham Krasae (other end of the bridge).
• Walk back before the train returns from Nam Tok.

 

Still possible? Permitted?

Hi Crossy,

 

Wampo Viaduct.

 

I think so, as there have been no reports of not being able to do so, on another forum that I am on relating to Kan Travel.

 

If you are going, go during the week-day and not on at the week-end.

 

Some photos from many a moon ago:-

Hope this helps you and our fellow members.

Hi Crossy ,

 

" The plan would be:-

Drive to Tham Krasae Bridge station."

 

Why not ; but the road is a dead end ;

you will pass near Muang Sing Historical Park

Some personnal photos I shot many years ago

 

 

 

 

 

" Ride the train to Tham Krasae (other end of the bridge)."

 

Only three trains in the day ;  the 909 is a special tourist one , departure from Hua Lamphong station in Bangkok only saturday and sunday 

If you like to shoot photo , take the first one  , at about 5.45/6.00 am at one of the two Kan'buri stations 

 

 

The main station 

 

 

The bridge station

 

 

 

 

 

Other end of which bridge ?

There are many bridges along the line 

 

The " bridge " at Tham Krasae

 

 

 

 

" Walk back before the train returns from Nam Tok."

Have a good trip ;

 

Yes, we can walk on the rails but do it carefully ...
