Koh Samui Bridge

August 29, 2022 By James Clark Leave a Comment

Koh Samui Bridge

Koh Samui Bridge is a proposed bridge in Thailand from the island of Samui to Khanom district in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province.

Khanom is the nearest point on the mainland, and the proposal has called for a cable-stayed bridge that would span 18km with two lanes in each direction.
