Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge, Thailand
The Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge is suspended over the Mekong river and connects mainland Thailand to Laos. The bridge was built in 1994 as people couldn’t cross the river as the rapids were pretty extreme.
Many people travel across this bridge every day, forming a connection between two nations. Traversing it during rush hour can be perilous, as traffic rules differ from Western standards. Floods also pose risks as waters rise rapidly in the rainy season.
