Tinsulanonda Bridge

Tinsulanonda Bridge is Thailand's longest concrete bridge, spanning 2.64 kilometers across Songkhla Lake in Songkhla Province. It connects Bo Yang in Mueang Songkhla District with Ko Yo Island and the Singhanakhon Peninsula via two sections (940 meters and 1,700 meters). Opened on 25 September 1986 and named after former Prime Minister Prem Tinsulanonda, it is notable for its engineering, panoramic lake views, and status as a landmark and scenic driving route.

Visitors can expect a long, straight concrete bridge crossing the shallow waters of Songkhla Lake with expansive views of the lake, fishing villages, and Ko Yo Island in the middle. The bridge is a road bridge with two traffic lanes, no pedestrian walkway, and is experienced mainly by driving or as a passenger. There are viewpoints and parking areas on Ko Yo Island at either end for stopping, photography, and viewing sunrise and sunset over the lake.

Constructed to connect Mueang Songkhla District with Singhanakhon District across Songkhla Lake, the bridge was opened on 25 September 1986. It was named in honour of General Prem Tinsulanonda, who was Prime Minister at the time and was born in Songkhla Province. The two-section design with Ko Yo Island as a central link improved transport and economic connectivity around the lake.

The bridge is a modern landmark and symbol of Songkhla Province, widely recognized as an engineering landmark and scenic icon. It is a popular stop for domestic visitors travelling to Ko Yo Island, known for its cultural attractions and local handicrafts, and is often featured as a representative image of Songkhla Lake.
