General information about the Pa Dinso Bridge

Location: Pratu Chai subdistrict, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya district, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province, near Wat Borom Phuttharam

Special features: This old brick bridge spans the Chakkrai Noi Canal. Its lotus-shaped arches likely show influences from Western architecture. The brick paving of the bridge is laid in a herringbone pattern. It is one of the few old bridges of which structural traces are still visible today.

Ambiance: Peaceful, shady and classically beautiful, perfect for vintage photos and learning about history.

Visit: Open daily (Some sources state opening hours from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm.) Admission is free.

Former trading district: The name "Pa Dinso" derives from the fact that this area was a trading center for stationery such as pencils (old marble pencils, white and yellow pencils, and black pencils) during the Ayutthaya period. It was an important trading hub for scholars, royal scholars, monks, novices, and officials.

Transportation: This bridge was built to facilitate transport across the Chakkrai Noi Canal and to provide people with a convenient journey to Wat Borom Phuttharam (the glazed brick temple).

Restoration: The bridge was originally probably made of wood, but was later replaced by a brick structure, giving it its current appearance.

The Pa Dinso Bridge is currently located on the grounds of Phranakhon Si Ayutthaya Rajabhat University.
