Pa Sak Jolasid Dam

The Pa Sak Jolasid Dam stretches 4860 meters in length and 187 meters in width, creating a reservoir with a capacity of 960 million cubic meters.

Construction of the dam commenced in 1994 following decades of planning, reaching completion in 1999 as part of Thailand's water management development strategy.

The dam transformed local agricultural practices, leading communities to adapt from traditional farming to new methods of livestock raising and tourism services.

The structure provides irrigation for 3520 square kilometers of farmland while preventing flooding in the Lower Chao Phraya Basin and Bangkok metropolitan area.

A railway viaduct crosses the reservoir, offering seasonal train excursions between November and January for visitors to observe the water infrastructure.
