About halfway from Chiang Mai to Lampang, the White Bridge is a two-span concrete railway bridge, a hundred years old, over a small stream a little north of the Khuntan Tunnel. By road it’s about 18 km east of the turnoff from the Route 11 highway. The gleaming white bridge lies in a scenic valley backed by mountains, next to a small, quiet village, with a golf course on the other side of the stream. Beside the bridge a cluster of bamboo restaurants and coffee shops stands on the bank. Besides a short walk for the view and riverside refreshments, the prime activity is to witness one of the several trains that whizz across the bridge each day. A sign next to one of the restaurants and another one by the railway tracks announce the scheduled times for this event.See more..
