“A medium-sized reservoir distinguished by the grand vista of its vast body of water contrasted with the surrounding lush greenery of the forest and mountains, especially Khao Khitchakut which stands majestically in the background.”

Phluang Dam is a reservoir crucial for agriculture and consumption for the people in the Khao Khitchakut District area. The vicinity around the reservoir has been developed into an easily accessible relaxation spot, as it is located close to the main highway and serves as a starting point for other natural attractions in the area.This dam is an excellent example of utilizing water resources while simultaneously conserving the natural scenery.

 The unique feature of Phluang Dam is its location, being encircled by high mountain ranges, creating an impressive panoramic view. Visiting here allows guests to feel relaxed by the tranquility of the water surface and the fresh air, especially in the early morning when there might be thin mist covering the water, creating a beautiful painted landscape impression.

Popular activities at Phluang Dam include driving or cycling to enjoy the view along the road parallel to the dam ridge, where you can easily stop for photos or just to sit and take in the view. During the dry season, the water level may recede, revealing wide patches of earth, which offers a unique contrast to the rainy season when the water is full. Relaxing in this atmosphere feels like taking a mental break from the city's hustle and bustle.
