Pha Daeng Luang or Pha Daeng Luang Viewpoint is located in Mae Ping National Park, Li District, Lamphun Province. It is a steep cliff next to the Ping River, which meanders through the valley. It is so beautiful that it has been nicknamed the Switzerland of Thailand because of the image of the sun rising behind the mountains with the soft sunlight reflecting on the water surface. Not only that, there is also fog floating below, between the mountains and the Ping River. It is an image that anyone who sees will be impressed and never forget. #WinterTravel

🎑Every April, Tak Province will hold an event called “Tradition of Paying Homage to the Phra Borom That Kaeng Soi” at Wat Phra Borom That Kaeng Soi on the bank of the Bhumibol Dam reservoir, Tambon Ban Na, Amphoe Sam Ngao, Tak Province. It is a tradition of Lanna Thai Buddhists. The pilgrimage route by water must be rafted or taken from the Bhumibol Dam to the temple. It is considered a good thing on Thai New Year's Day to bring good fortune to yourself and your family. 🚤Although traveling to Wat Phra Borom That Kaeng Soi requires a 3-hour boat ride from the Bhumibol Dam or a 7-hour raft ride, if you experience the beautiful nature of Mae Ping Lake and the fullness of merit, it is worth the trip. #Cultural tourism

Many people are hikers and many people probably know Doi Mon Chong well. But the day we went was the end of November, the beginning of December, the day the mountain had just opened. The atmosphere was very good, pine forests and fog, but there was also a lot of wind and cold. The atmosphere up there was very cloudy and foggy when we arrived. In the morning, there was a strong wind and the fog was clear enough to let us see Pha Hua Sing for us to take some pictures. It was an atmosphere that was different from the pictures we found. #NaturalAttractions #MonChong #ChiangMaiTravel #BeautifulPhotoTourism

Bhumibol Dam is the first multi-purpose dam in Thailand. It is a concrete arch dam and the first dam in Thai history, which is the origin of systematic and sustainable water management. In order to be in line with the objective of being a multi-purpose dam, the reservoir can be used in many ways, such as storing or slowing down water during the flood season to prevent and alleviate floods. However, it must not be too high to affect the flooded area around the reservoir, and the safety of the dam itself. It can also discharge water for consumption, agriculture, and the preservation of the ecosystem, including other benefits resulting from the discharge of water from the Bhumibol Dam. It was established after World War II. The government at that time had the idea of ​​building a large power plant, especially a hydroelectric power plant, which could quickly bring electricity into the system. Therefore, the “Committee for Considering the Construction of Power Plants Nationwide” was established to survey areas for power plant construction nationwide. It was found that the Ping River in the Yan Ri or Yanhee Valley, Sam Ngao District, Tak Province, was very suitable for building a dam. This led to the survey. “Yanhee Dam” in 1952 and started construction in 1957-1964 and in the same year, “Yanhee Electricity Authority” (EGAT) was established to be responsible for the construction of the dam and to produce electricity for the central and northern regions. Benefits in terms of electricity It can produce 560 megawatts of electricity or 2,200 million units per year, which can be sent to provinces in the north, central, east and west, including 36 provinces. In terms of irrigation in the rainy season, the area on the Ping River basin from the dam down to the rice fields can be used for rice farming of approximately 1,500,000 rai. In the dry season, it can help the area in the Chao Phraya Project produce dry season crops of approximately 2,000,000 rai. In terms of transportation, which is the heart of transportation in the central region, a boat with a draft of 2 meters can travel from Nakhon Sawan Province to Hot District, Chiang Mai Province, a distance of 400 kilometers. This dam can store up to 12,200 million cubic meters of water. It may be able to retain the water that flows in the rainy season, which will help alleviate flooding. In 1957, His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great granted the name of the dam as “Bhumibol Dam”. On May 17, 1964, His Majesty traveled with Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother, to perform the dam opening ceremony and pressed the button to connect the first generator to the system. Since that day, the Bhumibol Dam Hydroelectric Power Plant has been generating electricity for the happiness of Thai people. #tripพาบินเที่ยวจีน

It takes about 2 hours to travel. 🛕The atmosphere inside the temple is shady. You can see the view of the mountains and the river. It is said that inside the Phra That Kaeng Soi, there are relics of the hair and relics of the left arm of the Lord Buddha. #Visit the temple

#100TravelTips Bhumibol Dam is a concrete arch dam and the first multi-purpose dam in Thailand. It was originally called Yanhee Dam. Later, on July 25, 1957, His Majesty the King granted the name of the dam as Bhumibol Dam. The dam is the only concrete arch dam in Thailand and Southeast Asia. And it is ranked 8th in the world, blocking the Ping River at Khao Kaew, Sam Ngao District, Tak Province. The reservoir can hold up to 13,462 million cubic meters of water. His Majesty the King laid the foundation stone for the construction on June 24, 1961. The initial construction consisted of the construction of the dam, the power transmission system, and the power plant building, which installed generators 1-2 with a capacity of 70,000 kilowatts each, and were able to supply electricity on May 17 and June 15, 1964, respectively. Later, His Majesty the King opened the dam on May 17, 1964. Later, generators 3-6 with a capacity of 70,000 kilowatts each were installed, and generator 7 with a capacity of 115,000 kilowatts was installed, and was able to supply electricity on May 11, August 9, 1967, October 25, August 19, 1969, and October 18, 1982, respectively, in order to extend the life of the generators to 1988. The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand therefore improved the generators, Units 1-2, increasing their production capacity by another 6,300 kilowatts each, and were able to supply electricity in November 1992 and November 1993, respectively. The improvement of Units 3-4 had the same production capacity as Units 1-2, and was completed and was able to supply electricity to the system in February and August 1997, respectively. In addition, in 1991, EGAT installed the 8th pumped storage generator with a production capacity of 171,000 kilowatts and constructed the lower Mae Ping Dam, which was able to supply electricity to the system in January 1996, making the Bhumibol Dam hydroelectric power plant have a total installed production capacity of 779.2 megawatts as of May 17, 2002. It can provide irrigation benefits to an area of ​​up to 10 million rai per year. The reservoir above the dam can store 13,462 million cubic meters of water, with a surface area of ​​approximately 300 square kilometers. The length of the river from the dam to Hot District, Chiang Mai Province is 207 kilometers. In addition to its benefits in terms of electricity and irrigation, the Bhumibol Dam is also a place for recreation. And it is a breeding ground for freshwater animals. ##Visit Tak Province

⛰️ Doi Mon Chong on a day when the sky is not cooperating.. This trip is the next trip from Doi Luang Chiang Dao. After going down Doi Luang, we immediately went to Chiang Mai city. The next day, we traveled to Doi Mon Chong. Asked if we didn't rest for a bit, we couldn't rest. There are only a few days off, so we have to make the most of it. 😆 Doi Mon Chong, Omkoi District, Chiang Mai Province It is one of the top 10 highest mountains in Thailand. The highest point of the mountain is at Hua Sing, with an elevation of approximately 1,929 meters above sea level. It is a mountain that is not difficult to walk to. The distance is only 4 kilometers. It takes only 2-3 hours to walk to reach it. It is recommended for beginners. *Because I felt sorry for my senior who could not go up to Doi Luang, I messaged him even though I had already booked accommodation and train tickets back. He said... : Do you still want to go hiking? : I do. : Are you ready to throw away all your tickets? I'll take you hiking. 🌝 : Are you serious? : Really? : K, deal. And after that We immediately found a trip to Doi Mon Chong with Kattosuddentrip. We had to be patient 🤣 📌 Caption below the picture 😊 🚘 Travel ⁃ Take a van from the city - Huai Puling Wildlife Sanctuary ⁃ Take a four-wheel drive to the village and continue to the starting point 🧸 Facilities - There are toilets *Please keep it clean. There is a place to throw away trash, so please follow the instructions. We went there and the view was not beautiful at all. 😒 - There is a mobile phone signal in some places. 📝 Details ⁃ Anyone who wants to go must register via this page first. Omkoi Wildlife Sanctuary, Conservation Area Management Office 16, Chiang Mai Once you receive an email reply from the officer, the next step is to contact this page. Doi Mon Chong, Ban Huai Puling, Ecotourism Community You can contact the officer about porters, guides, and transportation fees. This time we joined another trip 😁 Going with the E-Tim-Na-Ngo page. You can call it a semi-share trip. Because we have to find our own food 555555 We only split the cost of transportation, entrance fees, and porters. We eat easy, live easy, so we’re not serious about this ^^’ Asking if you can go here by yourself, why do you have to pay for a tour? Well, we came down from the mountain and missed the train in Chiang Mai, so we had to throw away the ticket and pay for a tour to take the long train to Bangkok. We didn’t have to get tired. 😌 That’s right.. We always like to use money to solve problems.. In exchange for meeting new friends, it’s worth it. 😊 A life that doesn’t cost money is being happy with life 💚 Real-time reviews are in the story highlights IG: katto.npht Photo: IPHONE ______________________ #kattosuddentrip #DoiMonJong #ChiangMai #doimonjong #chaingmai #tripแจกโรงแรมฟรี

Plus, you have to conquer Pha Hua Sing. You have to see with your own eyes what the real Pha Hua Sing is like... #DoiMonChong
