Wang Pho Viaduct

About

The Wang Pho Viaduct, also Wampo Viaduct or Tham Krasae Railway Bridge (S̄aphān t̄ĥả krasæ) is a railway bridge made of wooden trestles which follow the cliff along the Khwae Noi River. The Wang Pho viaduct was constructed by allied prisoners of war of the Japanese during World War II as part of the Burma Railway. It is sometimes referred as the Double Viaduct, because of a nearby smaller viaduct. The viaduct is still in use and can be reached from the Wang Pho railway station.
