The 2014-built timber bridge with concrete supports is named Muban Daeng (Red village) after a neighboring fishing community. It spans the coastline with mangroves on one side and the open ocean on the other.
At the start of the boardwalk are a number of seafood eateries and Macchanu Shrine, a center of worship for nearby fishermen.
The boardwalk in the little-visited region, which is only an hour’s drive from Bangkok, draws day travelers anxious to see the sun set over the Gulf of Thailand.
The cold, fresh breeze from the water, according to local officials, is a factor in an increasing number of people opting to spend the night at coastal bungalows.
According to social media posts, the capital’s air quality has been impacted by both air pollution and record-high temperatures.
Tourists from other countries do not frequently visit the location.
The Red Bridge is busiest on weekends at sunset, according to recent visitors. They claim that early mornings are ideal for single visitors as well as families and small groups that want to avoid the congestion.
The most well-liked items that netizens recommend include a wide range of seafood soups and deep-fried red snapper with a zesty local sauce.
Red Boardwalk Bridge is also known as Dolphin Viewpoint, because from November to January, Bryde’s whales and the highly endangered Irrawaddy dolphins frequent the area.
However, Red Bridge offers year-round picturesque Instagram sunsets, refreshing breezes, fresh seafood, and leisurely strolls.
Visitors can take the picturesque train ride from Bangkok to the coast as well.
