Go Lamhin!: How our bridge would work!
http://golamhin.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-our-bridge-would-work.html
A Bridge for the Lamhin Community. Thursday, July 24, 2008. How our bridge would work! A tractor is too big for the bridge on Lam-Hin side(Liab-Wa-Ree17) so it has to go in on a truck from Su-Ka-Thong side (Liab-Wa-Ree19) and each time a rice-grower has to pay 500baht entrance fee to the Su-Ka-Thong landlord. Because of the small size of a rice carrier, a rice-grower can have it cross the first bridge on Lam-Hin side to his/her field in order to avoid the cost on an entrance fee. IN THE FUTURE (HOPEFULLY).
