From this bridge, you can see the whole amazing scenery of Chao Phraya River, and there is the beautiful park on the bridge that you should have come in the morning or evening time to collect the golden hour of shutting shots. There are many interesting sites nearby, but please be prepared for the parking lots that is not easy to see. I prefer to come with kids for exercise with my motorcycle which is easier to park in many areas.

Spanning the Chao Phraya River in northern Bangkok, the regal Phra Pokklao Bridge provides both scenic river views and an efficient transportation link. As the first bridge to cross the Chao Phraya, it holds historic significance while keeping up with the demands of modern traffic. The bridge's distinctive green framed structure stands out amidst the cityscape. It effortlessly blends classic and contemporary architectural styles. Undulating waves at the peak of each tower add elegant flair. At night, golden lights shine to highlight the bridge's grand presence along the river. Walking across the bridge is a delight, away from the noise and exhaust of Bangkok's streets. The pedestrian pathway allows you to soak in scenic vistas of the water, boats and city skyline from an elevated vantage point. Watching the sunset over the river from here is stunning. Road traffic flows smoothly in both directions across its 580 meters of length. Well-designed entry and exit points prevent major bottlenecks. Yet you may encounter congestion during peak times as one of the city's key river crossings. Overall, Phra Pokklao Bridge impresses with its rich history, picturesque setting and practical design. It's both a visual landmark on the Chao Phraya and a vital transportation artery. No visit to Bangkok is complete without admiring the graceful Phra Pokklao Bridge.

I've been there twice. Getting to the bridge is very dangerous. If you walk from the MRT Sam Yot station, cross the street to the East first instead of South, it's very hard to cross near the bridge (unless you want to run across a highway and its many exits). So many cars, so few traffic lights around there. If you walk from the Memorial Bridge pier, walk East along the riverside. The easiest way is definitely walking straight South from the Indian restaurants on Ong Ang Canal (there's a little exit between the Canal and the Bridge, sometimes with a lot of cars passing by but it's better to cross that than to cross a highway). I don't recommend coming here with kids or elders until they fix the infrastructure around there in the future. There's very little shade there too so watch out if you go there during the hot and rainy seasons. I've heard from a local family member that the underpass can get dangerous at night too (she said that there's frequent reports of night robberies there in the news apparently). If you walk from Sam Yot MRT station, there is a lot of walking involved so watch out (especially during the sunny or rainy seasons) and I must insist that you find Ong Ang Canal first before trying to get to the Bridge. P.S. You get decent views of the Chao Phraya, I guess (and the Skywalk's fairly unique idea-wise), but it's not much else. It's kind of overrated really. More like something for twenty year old daredevils to do and pray they don't get killed by a motorcycle while crossing the large highway to get to here. I even fell off a bench under the bridge when it collapsed under me and hurt my hand. Still much better than getting hit by a car, though. Beware of the sketchy stone seats under the bridge too, I sat on one of them, only for it to break since somebody attempted to put the already broken chair leg back together for some reason. Hurt my hand in the process.

Get up there and have some nice view.

Excellent use of free space. While traffic can be noisy, the view of the Chao Phrya River is lovely. Entrance is inside the quiet little park.

nice view. sorta like the highline in NY, has various places to relax although i wanted more soil park area accessible by elevator

One of the best sunset viewing spot in Bangkok. I used to go to this place even before the park was built. With new mrt stops near the place and a night market nearby, this place has become one of the most preferred place in Bkk to spend the evening

A very close walkable area, lots of local kids chilling there. Not far from the Chinatown. There is a very special vibe about this place.

The very first sky park in Bangkok. Nice view and atmosphere. Recommended to come in the evening after 4p.m. it is not too hot. You can see both side of Bangkok

New, nice view, green, for the sunset ideal spot

Lovely afternoon spent

Nice scene in the middle of sky park Bangkok

Nice view on both sides,there is another walking bridge 🌉 next Phra Pokklao connect with beautiful park .

Yes that's a good place. If you like to watch the mighty river right in front of you.
