Ratchaprapha Dam and Praphaphirom Pavilion near Cheow Lan Lake

Addition to the previous post about Lake Cheo Lan, I cannot fail to mention a separate place - the dam and the park, which are located very close to the pier on the lake. I do not know if they are visited with organized excursions from Phuket, but if you go on your own and on your own transport, then it is worth stopping by. The views there are no less beautiful than during the boat trip itself, and for free. Here are some photos from there, a little beauty, so to speak..

Ratchaprapa Dam and Prapapirom Pavilion

Lake Cheow Lan was formed thanks to the Ratchaprapha Dam, so it was interesting for me to see it, 94 meters high and 761 meters long after all. On Google Maps, by the way, the dam is marked in the wrong place (at the time of this writing), where it really is, which confused me a little when preparing for the trip. So you can navigate to the point on my map, there is a pavilion with an unpronounceable name (Praphaphirom Pavilion), in fact, a small park is located in this place, and the dam is right next to it. Don't get lost on the spot, there is only one road, it takes longer to explain. It's funny that there is a road right along the dam, you can completely pass it if you have time.

I remind you that all information about Khao Sok National Park and the lake in this post.

Maybe I was so lucky, but it was very beautiful. Very! The rain has just passed (during the photo session, he charged it again) and all the colors around became bright saturated, Photoshop is resting. Plus the clouds dropped a little and the sun was about to set, which also gave its shade. Perhaps in different weather or season, the place will be less beautiful, but I would still recommend stopping by.
