สะพานสมเด็จพระเจ้าตากสินมหาราช  
 Address:        
 Known as:   Taksin Bridge    
 Description:   The Taksin Bridge or commonly known as Sathon Bridge or Saphan Taksinis a bridge crossing the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok. The bridge was designed with a large gap between opposing traffic directions to accommodate a canceled mass transit system. The disused foundations were adapted for the BTS Skytrain, with train services across the bridge beginning on 5 December 1999. The bridge was named after King Taksin.
The entry ramp on the east side of the river contains the Saphan Taksin BTS Station as well as Sathorn Pier for the Chao Phraya Express Boat.
