Audio Guide of Lam Takhong Dam

The dam is generally open every day from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM for enjoying the views. It is located along Mittraphap Highway in Sikhio; you can easily find it using Google Maps to get the exact driving route.

No, entry to walk along the dam crest and enjoy the panoramic views is completely free. However, if you want to rent a bicycle to explore the area or go up to the wind turbine viewpoint at Khao Yai Thiang, there are very affordable rental fees.

A typical visit usually lasts between 1 and 2 hours, enough time to walk along the shore, take photos, and enjoy the breeze. If you plan to have a picnic or go up to the wind turbine area at Khao Yai Thiang, we recommend setting aside at least half a day.

Built in 1974, this earthfill dam is vital for agricultural irrigation and flood control in the Isan region. Beyond its technical role, it has become a symbol of relaxation and a key social gathering place for the people of Nakhon Ratchasima.

The best time is during the cool season, from November to February, when the weather is very pleasant. The ideal time of day is at sunset, around 5:00 PM, to watch a spectacular sunset over the reservoir.

Yes, the main dam crest area is paved and flat, which makes wheelchair access easier. To reach higher viewpoints in the surrounding area, using vehicles or the rental golf carts available in the wind turbine area is recommended.

Just above the dam is the Khao Yai Thiang wind turbine park, which offers incredible views. In addition, you are very close to the entrance of the famous Khao Yai National Park, a World Heritage Site.

We recommend renting a bicycle to ride along the length of the dam without getting tired and bringing a light jacket if you visit in winter because of the wind. Do not forget to try the local food at the restaurants by the reservoir, known for their fresh fish and water views.
