On the 18TH we visited the Vajiralongkorn Dam, Tha Khanun, Thong Pha Phum, Kanchanaburi. The dam is on the Kwaii Noi River and is used to power a 300MW Hydro Electric Power Plant. The power plant is off limits to the general public but access to the dam and associated spillways is allowed. We spend a couple hours reviewing the scenery – quite nice and pleasant. Overcast skies with no rain. We were the only visitors although a couple did show up followed by five Thais – turned out they were employees though.
Buddha overseeing the whole operation but a good 150 step stairway to the Buddha platform. Not for the physically challenged.
