StopsSu Tong Pae bridge
สะพานซูตองเป้
A bamboo footbridge across a paddy valley, built by a village and monks to walk to each other.
What it is
A long bamboo bridge over rice fields and a stream outside Mae Hong Son town, on the route toward Khun Yuam.
The long version
Tradition holds — the bridge was built so that monks from the monastery on one side could walk on alms round to the village on the other without crossing the fields and the water, and the villagers built it with them. The bamboo is replaced as it wears.
Inference — for a rider it is the right kind of stop, which is to say it takes fifteen minutes and it is on the way rather than up a dead end. Early morning is when the alms round happens and it is a working bridge at that hour, not a viewpoint.
Not on this disk: whether an admission or donation is now collected, and the bridge's current condition.
