Thung Phen Dam

Thung Phen Dam is a gravity dam in Chanthaburi province that uses its structural mass to hold back water and support irrigation networks across the eastern region. The construction relies on the weight of the dam to resist water pressure and provide reliable water supply for agricultural activities.

The dam was built to address water management challenges in Chanthaburi province, supporting agricultural development and flood control in the eastern region. Its construction represented an important step in improving water resource management for the local farming community.

The dam serves as a focal point where local communities gather to benefit from the water resources and learn about water management practices. It reflects how people in the region depend on reliable water supply for their daily lives and farming.

The best time to visit and explore the dam is from November to April, when weather conditions are most stable and favorable for outdoor activities. Fishing is allowed in designated areas, making it possible to combine sightseeing with recreational activities.

The dam combines traditional Thai water management techniques with modern engineering methods to create an efficient water distribution and storage system. This blend of local knowledge and contemporary technology shows how the facility was designed to meet both practical and cultural needs.
