Bridge of faith
Saphan Mon, Thailand's longest wooden bridge, still has a gaping hole in the middle a year after the mid-section was washed away. A provincial contractor failed to finish the job and now soldiers are helping the community repair the bridge - a structure that was built on faith. (Video by Jetjaras Na Ranong).

Mon bridge reconnected at last
A grand reopening ceremony is scheduled on Oct 18 for the bridge, which is also the second longest of its kind in the world.
Engineering soldiers of the 9th Infantry Division placed the last plank and a nail for local authorities to symbolically hammer to join the two parts of the bridge together at 1pm on Saturday.
The military took over the bridge repairs after a contractor hired to do the work had failed to do so.
