One doesn't need to be an engineer to know something about the very first Thai hydropower plant. When it was finished it was the main source for Thai electricity. Not so nowadays, not only by the high development that needs much more from many others, but also that the rains are no longer like the ones 50 years ago...

Incidentally, I know one nice Thai man who was that time in charge of the construction. Years before it was started, he was sent by Thai govt to Boulder, Colorado, location of the famous Boulder Dam constructed before WW2, afterwards renamed to Hoover Dam. He had stayed there few years with his family, learning all the secrets of such huge dam, applying that later here for Bhumipol Dam in Tak province. And later in charge of many other power plants, now in high age still active.
