Kan Win Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 The Dams in Thailand My link Rajjaprabha Dam Tourists who visit the Surat Thani area are stopping over on their way either to Koh Samui or to Phuket. If you are in this area one attraction is a must to see "The Rajjaprabha Dam" (also called Chieo Lan Dam). It is secluded and undiscovered by tourists. The dam is located in the Khao Sok National Park, on Road 401 to Phuket off the main Route 41 going south. Hire a long tail boat for a hour trip or so if you wish as long as the weather is good.

Kan Win Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 Huay Mae Khamin Waterfall This place is in Kanchanaburi Province. Go to Erawan Waterfall and just passed that there is a turn off to your left to Srinakharin Dam National Park. Only 42 kms thereafter on a very rough no tarmac road you will reach it. This was my second time there, but went there on that rough road. Near on 2 hours on that road to go 42 kms. I would not advise this road. Use the other route. See below:- The first time, I went the long way around on an easier way, on two ferries across the Srinakarin Reservoir. Great views there as well along that way. Go during the "Rainy Season" then the Waterfall should be as full as you have see in my photo. Should you wish to go there, take a Thai with you that knows the area and way. Took me 4 hours there, 1 click as you saw, 4 hours back with a whole group of people. On your own it should not take you that long.

Kan Win Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 Phraya Nakhon Cave - Khao Sam Roi Yot - The Royal Pavilion Took this photo last year. Had to climb up - down - up and down the mountain as an old fart of 60 years old, but it was worth each and every step of the way. Sawadee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanForbes Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Good choices, Kan. I'd also include the Dragon temple where you climb up hundreds of stairs inside its body and into a cave. It's not far from you in Kanchanaburi... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanForbes Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Not really one of the seven wonders of Thailand, but certainly unusual and beautiful. It's a clear mountain river along the border with Burma and it's filled with fish. It more closely resembles a New Zealand trout stream than a river in Asia. The mahseer fish are quite lovely as well and they take flies just like trout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBN Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 For me, one of the wonders of Thailand is to find beauty where you least expect it. Klong Saen Saep is one of those. It runs across Asoke and parallel to Petchburi road and is one of the water taxi routes across Bangkok. I have crossed it many times over the bridge in Asoke on my way to the MRT station. One afternoon picked up the camera and found a narrow alley that led to a walkway next to the klong. The sun was setting and added a bit of colour to the predominantly greyscale scenery. Even here there was colour where least expected.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBN Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 .. and the people. The ticket girls with their amazing ability to hang on to the speeding boat; I was waiting for the second girl to look back and get a profile shot but she never did; I took the shot anyway and captured a mirror image of the skyline on the back of her helmet by accident.. ..the passengers, the quintessential Thai girl and the girl on the pier, folding little decorative ribbons; unperturbed by the ebb and flow of passengers boarding Wish the shots were better but perhaps it will serve to inspire someone with better skills!!
