"I really want to go here."

This is my initial impression after reading reviews about the 'Su Tong Pae Bamboo Bridge' in Mae Hong Son Province. At first glance, it appears to be a captivating tourist destination. It features a long bamboo bridge stretching across verdant rice fields, with a backdrop of stunning mountain ranges. Monks can be seen collecting alms, and there are Lanna-style temples. It seems like a perfect blend of elements that are worth witnessing firsthand.

Mae Hong Son is renowned for its remoteness and winding roads with thousands of curves. While it may seem like a slow-paced town, the arduous journey through countless curves to reach it raises the question of whether the experience is truly worthwhile.

Recently, I planned a trip to Pai and decided to drive to the Su Tong Pae Bridge. This was probably the closest I've ever been to Mae Hong Son, and I'm not sure when I'll have the chance to visit again.

I rented a car from Chiang Mai Airport through Rentalcars.com and got a Toyota Altis from Sixt for only 700 baht per day.

I drove out of Chiang Mai on the road to Pai. The road was full of curves, as everyone says. Some of the curves were almost like U-turns. That day, I encountered heavy rain and fog, which required a lot of concentration while driving. I stayed in Pai for one night, and I will write a full trip review later.

The next morning, we continued driving to the Sutong Bridge. After driving through 2,000 curves (I didn't count them myself, but I heard from others that it was 2,000 curves, so I just went with 2,000 curves), we reached our destination.

The breathtaking view instantly erased all traces of fatigue.

The Zutongpae Bridge, a 600-meter-long bamboo structure, traverses a river and verdant rice fields. One side of the bridge leads to a village, while the other leads to a "Suan Tham" (similar to a temple). It is likely that the bridge was built to facilitate villagers' access to the Suan Tham. It is said that in the mornings, monks cross the bridge to collect alms in the village, creating a picturesque scene.

This bridge is also known as the "Wish Bridge." Some say that if you make a wish at the end of the bridge and walk across it, your wish will come true. Others say that you can simply stand in the middle of the bridge and make a wish (this option is for the lazy). However, there is no need to hold your breath while crossing the bridge. This is not the Bang Pakong River.

Are you ready? If so, let's take a walk and see the Sutong Bridge together.

The view is breathtaking, making all the fatigue disappear.

This bridge is very classic.

The rainy season offers lush greenery and a refreshing atmosphere.

I visited during the low season on a weekday.

There was no one around, so we had the entire 600-meter bridge to ourselves.

The bridge is sturdy.

A small stream crossing, very cute.

The rice fields are not yet very green. If you come during the green and yellow season, it will be beautiful.

This appears to be a coffee shop, but it is closed.
