Iron Bridge

Chiang Mai


This picturesque steel bridge looks old but is actually a modern creation, built as a homage to the old Nawarat Bridge, which was demolished in the 1970s. Every evening it lights up with changing colours throughout the night, and is a popular place for young locals to hang out.
