Amphoe Sikhio
Lam Takhong Dam
This is an earth-filled dam across the Lam Takhong River
that flows through a crevasse. Built in 1974, its primary purpose
was to divert water from above the dam for irrigation. Visitors
can walk on the dam to enjoy the view of the reservoir, which has
a mountain backdrop. The dam is a suitable place for relaxation
when it is not hot. The dam, which is open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.,
is located at Tambon Lat Bua Khao, around 62 kilometers from the
city. Turn onto a road that branches off Highway No. 2 (Nakhon Ratchasima-Saraburi)
between the 196 and 197-kilometer markers and proceed for about
2 kilometers.
