There are so many things that add vibrancy and beauty to this futuristic city and one such tourist attraction is the Rama 111 Bridge in Bangkok. This is a spectacular piece of work that makes the city worth visiting. This Rama 111 is a cable stayed bridge that is built across the beautiful Chao Phraya River. The construction of this massive flyover was due to the sever traffic that prevailed in Bangkok and so with the collaboration of a British company Thailand started building Rama 111 in the year 1999.
It was opened to the public in the year 2002 and is named after the late King Ananda Mahidol. When the Rama Bridge was completed it was known as the world’s largest asymmetrical bridge. Its irregular design is one of its significant features. Underneath the massive Y shaped structure of the bridge you could see many people taking pictures, walking and even biking. The site is even more beautiful at night with all the lights and soothing breeze. When taking a closer look at the building you would be able to see beautifully designed lotus motifs on the pedestrian railing of the construction. The base of the tower resembles the feet of an elephant. The top of the tower, which is the observation deck in the shape of a lotus bud, is the most amazing feature of all though it is not yet opened to the public.
The surrounding area of the Rama Bridge is beautifully converted into a public park with a large statue of the Late King Ananda Mahidol. If you on the lookout for reasonable accommodation in Bangkok then there is nothing to worry as accommodation comes in all sizes and styles. From big fancy hotels to small motels you will be spoilt for choice. However if you prefer to explore the city at your own pace peacefully the best choice would be a stay at one of the Bangkok serviced apartments. Out of all the vibrant sleeping options the Anantara Baan Rajprasong Bangkok is highly recommended for you. Such Sukhumvit accommodation will for sure make your holiday vacation one of the best ones ever.
