Why should you go there and how do you do it right?
It's less of a tourist attraction and more of a pedestrian bridge that has become a popular photo subject. Spanning North Sathon Road in Si Lom, it's part of the elevated pedestrian network connecting to the BTS line. Its purpose is to provide office workers with direct access from the station to their buildings without having to cross eight lanes of traffic. The reason it appears on travel itineraries is the view of the street: skyscrapers on both sides, headlights filtering through below, and nothing but a railing separating visitors from the bridge.
If you'd like to take photos, a visit at dusk is recommended. The traffic is heavy then, the traffic lights come on, and the entire route offers a perfect backdrop. If you'd prefer to avoid the rush hour, visit in the late morning or early afternoon on a weekday. In any case, it's just a short ten-minute stop, not an afternoon excursion. Combine your visit with a stroll through Si Lom and then explore the nearby bars and restaurants.
