We came there with three kids and they were so excited about the water slides into the lake! It's not an aquapark there. But when the main attraction is the view, some small slides are enough. We also did some kayaking, which was fun for all of us.



The deck floor is too hot, so you barely can step on it with bare feet. Please bring your slippers with you. There were no amenities in the shower. So if you want to get a nice shower please bring it with you.
We had lunch in the restaurant there and it was really tasty. This place is very popular among the locals, but they have western food on their menu also. There is a possibility to rent a floating hut there for the night, but we didn't.

Very peaceful, and the cafe was okay but there are good restaurants further upstream reached bt the longboats. Well worth the experience..there are also cabins for rent on the water if you want to stay overnight or longer. Great place to relax and get cool. Nice dam with long tail boats that you can cruise along the dam sightseeing. Chiang Mai Thailand Nice restaurant with lots of fish options. you get to the park pay for your entrance and then you need to pay for a boat to take you to the floating houses /restaurants/hotels.


The onsite restaurant Served a Delicious fish dish that must try. a Very cool place to stay over for the night. They offer different types of accommodations and food. The fast boat service is included if you stay overnight. We took a kayak and just discovered the dam with beautiful surroundings. In the afternoon it's good to take a swim and just relax with the jungle "music" sounds from the jungle. The price is a bit high but well worth it.

If you have kids then definitely bring them with you!

while there they have kayaks you can use for free platforms to jump off into the water, and great food.

we had such a great time. Great views weather is nice.

Chiang Mai Thailand Good camping location on the managed dam.
