Tourist attraction in Thailand: ‘Khun Dan Prakarn Chon Dam’

As one of the biggest dams situated near Bangkok, Khun Dan Prakarn Chon Dam hidden away from chaos in the wild becomes a local hot spot for everyone in the family to visit.  It is a beautiful and breath-taking landmark as well as an ideal place for visitors to travel effortlessly and spend a couple of days enjoying the place.   Khun Dan Prakarn Chon Dam, Thailand holds the title for being the longest Dam as it is 2 km 720 m long with the height of 93 meters with the storage capacity of 224 million cubic meters and that is made from a certain blend of concrete. It receives water flowing from Khao Yai National Park through Heo Narok Waterfall to the reservoir. Before construction of this massive dam, a smaller reservoir called Klong-Ta-Darn was built but due to its small size, the reservoir was unable to prevent widespread flooding in Nakorn Nayok.   The dam is architecturally beautiful with the sheer scale of this construction makes them an impressive sight. There are two major attractions for visitors at Khun Dan Prakarn Chon Dam. Visitors can go to the top of the dam and enjoy the spectacular scenery of mountains that embraces the dam and admires breathtaking panorama views of the city. The intense beauty of the horizon arises during the romantic sunset making the forthcoming night unforgettable for the visitors.  Areas for car-parking and sheds are set up as rest areas to welcome tourists. The area can be packed with people, especially families who bring their kids to play. For direction, take the 3049 highway and keep an eye out for an intersection before Nang Rong Falls. The intersection will lead into the Khun Dan Prakarnchol dam area. Once you see a roundabout, there will be an intersection to the dam, and another one to the right, crossing a bridge towards the bottom of the dam.
