The period of sunset ,short period of time that is meaningful
for travelers, is the beauty that many people are waiting for.
Kra Seaw Dam is the place where you can see the most beautiful
scenario of sunset in Suphanburi. Especially in winter, the time
when you can see the sunlight have gradually changed, see the
sun move slowly down to the top of the mountain, see the shadow
reflect on the water and feel the cold atmosphere is the
meaningful moment that we can truly enjoy nature. Moreover,
there is a place for tent in winter around the dam.
Kra
Seaw Dam was built in B.E.2523. It is the earth dam built to
restore water from Kra Seaw Stream. Its length is 4,250 metre.
It height is 32.5 metre. The area to restore water is 28,750
rai. The capacity of the dam is 240 million cubic metre. It is
the longest earth dam in Thailand and a large breeding ground.
It is also a tourist attraction that has beautiful scenario. In
the afternoon, the weather is hot. However, the weather in the
evening is very nice especially the tent site near the dam.
About the history of Kra Seaw Dam, it is located in Dan
Chang sub-district in the area of Royal Irritation Department’s
Kra Seaw Organization of Operation and Maintenance Project. In
the past, there is always a flood in Song Pee Nong district
every year until B.E.2523 when Banharn Silpa-archa was a
minister of Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives. He thought
Kra Seaw Dam cannot restore much water. Therefore, he ordered
Royal Irritation Department to build a reservoir at Kra Seaw Dam
to prevent the flood. If tourists want to enjoy the scenario,
you have to walk from a parking lot up to a stair. When you go
up, you will be able to see Pu Toei Mountain from here. There is
also a restaurant near the parking lot. You can ask for more
information at Kra Seaw Dam, Tel.035595120.
If tourists
want to go camping here, you will see the intersection before
the entrance of the dam. There is a road on your right side that
has a sign “Pae Kra Seaw”. You have to drive to this way for
around 1 km. Then, turn left about 200 metre and you will see
tent site. Another interesting tent site is on the west of the
dam. This site is called “Pae Chao Kuan”. It is very natural
here and is a proper place for tourists who do not focus on
comfort. If you want to come here, you have to go to Nong Pur
district. The entrance is on you right side. If you want to stay
comfortably, you can choose the resorts that are located in the
district such as Dan Chang Camping House Resort. Tourist
Information Center in Dan Chang District can give you a lot of
information around here. |
