Description: |

Chakrapong Reservoir is a gigantic reservoir located at the foot
of Khao Ito Hill, it preserves water from several sources
flowing from the top of Khao Ito mountain. Therefore, it is full
of water all year round. Chakrapong Resevoir is a soil dam, with
approximately 16.50 meter height, and 740 meters length. From
the entrance of the reservoir, turn left and drive up to the
mountain top to get a striking panoramic view of the landscape.
As you drive up around 11 kilometers (at 6 kilometer stone), you
will encounter a wonder hillock or a fantastic hillock (which
covers the distance around 150 meters). Just park the car and
let go the gear, your car can run up the mountain itself. This
phenomenon is caused by an illusion of the surrounding
landscape.
To travel to Chakrapong Reservoir, tourists
can take personal cars, or bicycling along the dam ridge. The
perfect time for a visit is during the morning. Especially in
winter, visitors can admire the fog there, or in the evening,
they can also see the golden sunlight. During the day, travelers
can drop by at the restaurants while enjoying the surrounding
nature from Chakrapong Reservoir.
There is an Information
Center Service for tourists at Wanaputta Uttayan Park, Khao Ito
Waterfall, attached to the reservoir.
It has a cool and shady atmosphere. The place provides a
vast space for camping as well. Also, you can notice a small
spirit house (San Phraphum) near the reservoir from the mound of
stones.
