Much of the land around those lakes looks like fill brought in from elsewhere. I would guess that's how the shell - which is artillery, not mortar - got there. You can see large numbers of this type of shell on the sea bed around a small island to the south west of Pattaya which the Thai navy sometimes uses for gunnery practice.
