Description: |
|
This natural freshwater lake was renovated into a prime tourist
destination and covers an expansive 1,080 acres. The lake was
declared a wildlife sanctuary area in 1983, and its great
variety of flora and fauna spurred the government to register
Bueng Chawak as an important wetland under the Ramsar Convention
in 1998.
Around the lake are large, shady trees. Water
lilies float on the lake. A large flock of migrating lesser
whistling ducks flies in during the cool season from November to
March, and departs again in April. There are a large variety of
tourist sights here, including aquariums, a crocodile farm, a
botanical garden, recreated lion and tiger dens, a rabbit island
and a local OTOP handicrafts center. For day-trippers and
campers, there are also campgrounds and picnicking locations.
The lake is approximately 64 kilometers from the town of
Suphan Buri and straddles the districts of Amphoe Hankha of Chai
Nat Province and Amphoe Doem Bang Nang Buat. To get there,
follow the Taling Chan-Suphan Buri Road (Highway 340) to Amphoe
Doem Bang Nang Buat. There are two access points. From the
intersection before entering the town of Doem Bang Nang Buat,
turn left to cross a bridge over the Tha Chin River. Go straight
to a T-junction opposite the irrigational canal and turn right
to follow the road parallel to the irrigation canal.
Alternatively, take Highway 340. At Km 147, on the left-hand
side, visitors will see the WatDoem Bang Nang Buat School. Turn
left to a small road next to the school to cross the river. Go
straight and turn right at the T-junction to follow the road
parallel to the irrigation canal. Once the bridge over the
irrigation canal on the left-hand side is reached, turn left to
cross the bridge. |
