Saphaan Chonlamarkwithi, is a stunning coastal bridge in Chonburi. It was built to improve connectivity between the coastal towns of Bang Saen (บางแสน) and Ahng Silah (อ่างศิลา) and completed in 2010, to help ease traffic congestion in Chonburi's city centre. Spanning approximately 6 kilometres, the bridge offers a vital link during weekends when many day tourists from Bangkok head to the ever-popular Bang Saen Beach (fig.), while providing breathtaking panoramic views of the sea, especially captivating at sunset.
