Description: |

It is in Ban Wang Won Chonlaprathan, Nong Ta Taem sub-district,
Pran Buri district, Prachuap Khiri Khan province. It is an earth
dam blocking the Pran Buri River causing a large lake. Its crest
is 1,500 m long, 8 m wide and 42 m high. In addition to a major
dam in Pran Buri, it is also a tourist site, where tourists can
view beautiful scenery of a valley that embraces the river bend
with silent atmosphere and cool air from the stream and green
trees. Besides, it is an excellent fishing point that fishers
should not miss. On the way, a herd of goats walk and graze
grass along an asphalt road on the crest. Visitors can drive
while appreciating its scenery. A very time is when the sun sets
and disappears behind the mountain. Gold light crossing Tanao Si
Mountain is very attractive. The dam can be accessed by famous
Huai Mongkhon Temple or by Phetchakasem Road about 10 km. In
case of travelling by bus, there is a bus service from Hua
Hin-Pran Buri. Then, take a local transport called Songthaew
from Pran Buri intersection in Pran Buri district. For those who
want to take a rest at Hua Hin, Pran Buri, the dam is another
recommended site. Visiting hours are from 8.00 am to 5.00 pm. |
