The 1st Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge
On 8th April 1994, His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great (Rama IX), Her Majesty Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother, and HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn made a royal visit to officially open the bridge for public use. Following the ceremony, they stayed overnight at the former Maha Chivit Palace before returning to Thailand.
