Ubolratana Dam

Ubolratana Dam, about 50 kilometers north of Khon Kaen city, is a large reservoir and recreation area popular with local visitors. Built on the Phong River, it plays an important role in irrigation and power generation, but travelers come mainly for its open water views, breezy atmosphere, and relaxed setting. The area is suitable for picnics, casual walks, and short stops to enjoy the scenery, especially around sunset. If you are looking for a quiet outing rather than a major historical attraction, it is a pleasant side trip from Khon Kaen.
