Day 2 – We Visited Temple, Waterfall & Dam in Nakhon Nayok : Thailand (Jul’23)
In July 2023, I embarked on a memorable journey through Nakhon Nayok, Thailand, exploring its rich cultural and natural attractions.
Day 2 – After breakfast, we were ready to explore Nakhon Nayok on a motorbike. Today our first destination was Khun Dan Prakarn Chon Dam. We reached there around 11:30 am. It was approx. 8 KM from our hotel, so just took us around 15 minutes. This day there was a lot of traffic and crowd.

View Around Dan Prakarn Chon Dam
Our adventure began with a visit to the Khun Dan Prakan Chon Dam, a significant landmark in Nakhon Nayok. This impressive structure, standing 93 meters high and stretching 2,720 meters in length, is the largest and longest roller-compacted concrete dam in Thailand. It plays a crucial role in water management for the region.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by a bustling scene, with many visitors eager to experience the dam’s grandeur. The panoramic views from the top were breathtaking, offering a unique perspective of the surrounding landscapes.
Our Next Destination – Ganesha Park
Our next stop was Ganesha Park, renowned for housing two large statues of Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity revered in Hinduism. The park exudes a serene atmosphere, attracting devotees and tourists alike who come to pay their respects and admire the intricate craftsmanship of the statues.
Lunch At – ชมนก (Chomnok) Cafe & Restaurant
For lunch, we chose Chomnok Cafe & Restaurant, aptly named as “Chom nok” translates to “see the birds” in Thai. Situated approximately 20 minutes from the dam, this establishment provided a delightful dining experience amidst natural surroundings. We enjoyed feeding the birds and fish, adding a touch of nature to our meal.
