Phan Fa Lilat Bridge is a cast iron bridge over the outer moat of the Banglamphu Canal. It links two roads, Ratchadamnoen Klong Road and Ratchanoen Nok Avenue. It was rebuilt during the reign of King Rama V to follow Ratchadamnoen Avenue. The balustrades of Phan Fa Lilat Bridge is decorated with sunflower motif from cast iron.

On either end of the bridge are carved marble columns. Although Phan Fa Lilat Bridge has been renovated a few times, it still retains its original elements. Today it is registered with the Fine Arts Department as a national heritage.
