Huai Wangnong reservoir

What year did they construct the reservoir? I was there in 1965, and I don't remember it...

In 1965 it was a swamp. In those days only dirt roads crossed the front of this swamp. 

 

About 1999 to 2001 or 2002, the most powerful politican at that time organised to dig out the swamp and build a road right around the reservoir. It was then, that the real estate around the lake took off.

OK. Good to know that I hadn't forgotten or missed something like that. Out by the airfield now, is Wat Ban Na Mueang. In 1965 it was a fisherman's shack on stilts, sitting in a pond.
