U Pain (Bain) Bridge Mandalay

U Pain (Bain) Bridge

Mandalay
Myanmar (Burma)
Taung Tha Man Lake

World's Scariest Bridges

U PAIN BRIDGE, MYANMAR

With no handrails, you’ll want to be extra careful crossing this bridge, especially in the dry season—there’s no lake below to soften the fall. And it’s not exactly brand-new; this 3/4-mile-long teak bridge was built more than 200 years ago. More than 1,000 wooden posts (read: logs)—with roughly four or five feet between each—hold it up.
Where: In Mandalay, connecting opposite banks of Taungthaman Lake
Stats: 3/4 miles long; 15 feet high.
