The Bamboo Bridge of Faith Across the Rice Fields of Mae Hong Son

Roy Cavanagh · October 26, 2014 ·

Beautifully simple in its construction, simply beautiful in its location. The bamboo bridge of Su Tong Pae in Mae Hong Son province stretches for 500 metres across rice fields and the Mae Sa Nga River to link the temple at one end with the village of Kung Mai Saak at the other.

Used daily by villagers and monks, the name of the bridge translates as ‘successful prayer’ in the Tai Yai language and Su Tong Pae is a source of pride amongst the local community. Rice plantation owners donated the land and the villagers came together to construct the bridge using interwoven strips of bamboo for the walkway and wooden supports to elevate the bridge above the rice fields.

Location: Su Tong Pae Bridge is located in the village of Kung Mai Saak approximately 15km north of Mae Hong Son city just off Highway 1095.
