Vajiralongkorn Dam, Hydroelectric power station in Tha Khanun, Thailand.
Vajiralongkorn Dam spans 1019 meters across the Khwae Noi River, featuring three Francis turbines that generate 300 megawatts of electrical power.
The construction of this concrete-face rock-fill dam commenced in 1979 and reached completion in 1984, marking Thailand's first implementation of this engineering design.
The dam received its current name in 2001 to honor King Vajiralongkorn when he held the position of Crown Prince.
The reservoir holds 8,860 million cubic meters of water, supporting both electricity generation and agricultural irrigation throughout the Mae Klong River basin.
The dam structure integrates reinforced concrete with rock fill materials, creating a facility that prevents saltwater intrusion during dry seasons.
