“A distinctive suspension bridge for pedestrians and motorcycles, featuring a bright yellow steel structure. Offers beautiful photo angles, scenic views of the curving Nan River, and glimpses of traditional riverside life.”
Hiran Narumit Bridge was built to connect the town center of Chum Saeng with the eastern side of the Nan River, replacing traditional boat crossings used in the past. Today, it has become an important cultural and tourism landmark of the community.
Classic Architecture
The bridge features a steel suspension structure supported by large cables, with a wooden deck painted in vivid yellow. The color contrasts beautifully with the greenish river and blue sky, making it a popular photography spot, especially among travelers who enjoy a vintage atmosphere.
Following the TV Drama “Krong Kam”
After the nationwide success of the Thai TV drama “Krong Kam”, which used Chum Saeng as its main setting, the bridge became a must-visit check-in location for drama fans, offering a nostalgic feeling of old-town Thailand.
Riverside Way of Life
From the bridge, visitors can observe the simple daily life of local residents, including traditional fishing boats and well-preserved wooden houses lining the riverbanks, reflecting the authentic charm of Chum Saeng.
Sunset Viewpoint
In the evening, the bridge transforms into a romantic sunset viewpoint, as golden sunlight reflects on the Nan River and the yellow steel structure, creating a truly memorable scene.
