MON
BRIDGE
This bridge was originally built with teak in the Third reign (1824-1851). The timber structure was replaced by a concreate
bridge in the Sixth reign (1910-1925). The name “Mon” in Thai means an ethnic group (called Pequan in English) living in a town
(called
Pequ) in the south of Myanmar. The Mon traders used to settle their boathouses
on the area of Mon bridge.
