Tinsulanond
Bridge
Named
in honor of the former Prime Minister, General Prem Tinsulanond,
the bridge was completed in 1986 and was the final link in
the highway system linking the southern Thai provinces with
the rest of the country. The longest concrete bridge in Thailand,
it crosses Songkhla Lake linking both sides of the lagoon
to Ko Yo island in the middle. General Prem Tinsulanond is
one of the most respected statesmen in modern Thai history
and has been credited, together with His Majesty the King,
with establishing the foundations of the economic and political
stability that Thailand now enjoys. Visitors to Songkhla can
admire the convenience of the bridge when they visit Ko Yo
on a trip to the Institute for Southern Thai Studies which
maintains and excellent Folklore Museum on the island.
