Red Bridge

Red Bridge (Saphan Daeng) is a coastal viewpoint in Phanthai Norasing, Mueang Samut Sakhon District, Samut Sakhon Province, about 35 km southwest of Bangkok. The distinctive red-painted wooden bridge extends over mangrove mudflats into the Gulf of Thailand. Built to promote mangrove conservation and eco-tourism, it is known for dolphin watching, sunset views, and mangrove scenery.

Visitors can walk along a red wooden boardwalk and bridge extending several hundred meters over mangrove forest and tidal mudflats to a pavilion viewpoint over the Gulf of Thailand. The setting is open and coastal with mangroves, fishing villages and shrimp farms nearby. Visitors can observe mudflat wildlife, look for Irrawaddy dolphins offshore, photograph the sunset, and visit nearby seafood restaurants and stalls.

The bridge was constructed as part of local mangrove conservation and eco-tourism initiatives in Phanthai Norasing to provide public access to the coastal mangrove area and to promote awareness of the mangrove ecosystem and Irrawaddy dolphin habitat in the upper Gulf of Thailand.

The site reflects the coastal fishing culture of Samut Sakhon and community-based conservation of mangroves. It is associated with local livelihoods linked to fishing and aquaculture and serves as a community leisure and gathering place for sunset viewing.
