In July 2023, I embarked on a memorable journey to Khun Dan Prakan Chon Dam in Nakhon Nayok, Thailand. Our day began early, waking at 6:30 am to reach the dam by 7:30 am. We purchased tickets for a two-hour long-tailed boat tour, priced at 200 THB per person.

The dam, a massive contemporary concrete structure, offers sweeping views and is a testament to modern engineering. Visitors can walk across it to fully appreciate its grandeur.

Our boat trip included two 40-minute stopovers, allowing us to explore the serene surroundings and immerse ourselves in the natural beauty of the area.

In July 2023, I embarked on a journey from Bangkok to Nakhon Nayok, a province renowned for its natural beauty and cultural landmarks. Departing Bangkok around 11 am, I hired a taxi for 1,200 THB to cover the approximately 110 km distance. Upon arrival in Nakhon Nayok City, I rented a motorbike for 250 THB per day to explore the area over the next two days.

There is no easy way to rent a motorbike in Nakhon Nayok, so please make arrangements in advance. There are no shops to rent. I found after lots of research one guy number. His name is Mr. Uan and his phone: 0814917662 He is a very busy man 🙂 and keep in touch with him until you reach Nakhon Nayok.
