Last month, half the concrete road bridge across the Kham river collapsed while the river was running high. A temporary span was then put in it's place. Now there is a new development......
When heading south out of Chiang Saen town on the 1129 you will see this;
A few klms south you get to the river and then see this;
The truck and trailer were full of sand. Most inconvenient for the people living in Chiang Saen Noi. This happened two days ago. Workers are already dismantling the bridge.
Fortunately, the diversion to stay south of the river through Bahn San Tat doesn't take you too far around and you rejoin 1129 just south of Wat Prathat Pa Ngao in Sob Kham.
You know you are in Thailand, because there is already a bike and trailer selling drinks and snacks.....
