Asadang Bridge

Asadang Bridge is a historic white wooden pier-bridge located on Ko Sichang Island in Tha Thewawong Subdistrict, Ko Sichang District, Chonburi Province, Thailand. Built in 1891 during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) as part of the Phra Chuthathut Palace complex, it extends into the Gulf of Thailand. Named after Prince Asdang Dejavudh, the bridge is notable for its colonial-era architecture, seaside setting, and role as a landmark viewpoint and photography spot within the former royal summer palace grounds.

Visitors can expect a white wooden bridge extending over clear shallow seawater with views of the Gulf of Thailand and Ko Sichang coastline. The structure features classic late 19th-century design with white railings and pavilion-style shelters. The surrounding area includes the landscaped grounds of Phra Chuthathut Palace, rocky shoreline, and open sea views. Visitors can walk the length of the bridge, take photographs, enjoy sea breezes, and view sunsets. The site is open and exposed with limited shade.

Built in 1891 during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) as part of Phra Chuthathut Palace, the royal summer palace on Ko Sichang. The bridge was named after Prince Asdang Dejavudh, a son of King Rama V. It served as a landing pier and seaside promenade for the royal residence and remains one of the few surviving structures of the palace complex after the palace was abandoned following the French occupation of the island in 1893.

Represents the architectural and cultural heritage of the Rama V period and the history of Ko Sichang as a former royal retreat. The bridge and palace grounds are preserved as a heritage site reflecting Thai royal history and late 19th-century coastal palace design, and are a significant cultural landmark for visitors to the island.
