Phuket Sightseeing

Sarasin Bridge

The older and lower Sarasin Bridge was built in 1967, spanning 600 m over the Pak Prah strait connecting Phang Nga Province with Phuket Island. After its renovation in 2011 its middle section was raised, it received a sightseeing tower and was converted into a pedestrian promenade. Coming here in the evening you can watch the sunset and enjoy a snack from one of the local food stands.

Side-by-side to the old Sarasin Bridge run the newer and higher Thao Thep Krasattri Bridge and Srisoonthorn Bridge which handle all the traffic now.
