Khun Dan Prakan Chon Dam

Khun Dan Prakan Chon Dam is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Nakhon Nayok province. It is the longest roller-compacted concrete dam in the world. Located in Mueang Nakhon Nayok District, it is only about 100 kilometers from Bangkok, making it ideal for a day trip or an overnight stay. The viewpoint at the dam crest is one of the highlights not to be missed. Tourists can walk or rent a golf cart for about a hundred baht per person for half an hour to the crest to enjoy the view of the dam and the river stretching amidst the mountains. Along the way, you can stop to take beautiful photos of nature. Besides walking around the dam, there are also boat tours that take tourists along the Nakhon Nayok River to admire the natural beauty on both sides of the river and visit waterfalls hidden in the valleys. Another popular activity is taking a long-tail boat to see the Chong Lom Waterfall, which is located behind the dam. This waterfall is especially beautiful during the rainy season as the water flows down from the mountains in long streams, creating a refreshing and lush green atmosphere. Boating along the river allows tourists to get close to nature. Around Khun Dan Dam, there are other interesting tourist spots such as Nang Rong Waterfall and Wang Takhrai Waterfall, which are not far from each other. These spots are perfect for nature sightseeing and cooling off in the water. Additionally, there are adventure activities such as rafting, bamboo rafting, and cycling through nature, which are popular among adventure-loving tourists. For tourists who want to relax for a longer period, there are accommodations around the dam. There are many resorts and homestays that offer a peaceful natural atmosphere. Some are located by the water or on the mountains, allowing you to enjoy the dam view right from your room.
