ozsamurai Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I rather fancy a bit of paddling and yachting, is there an area that is fresh water inland, a 'lakes district"? TIA Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwasaki Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 In the first place saw waterways and lakes on maps then saw some travelling about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungstib Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Most of the big inland water is behind dams. Look for the big dams in the lower north and you will find lakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dluek Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 There's no "lakes district" and there really aren't many natural lakes in the kingdom -- the biggest one borders Sakhon Nakhon town and is nothing special. There's Thale Sap down south between Songkhla and Phatthalung provinces, it's brackish and linked directly to the Gulf, but quite nice in places and very large. The lake next to Phayao is also nice. Otherwise the most scenic lakes are all reservoirs -- two of the best are Chiew Lan Lake, which is part of Khao Sok NP in western Surat Thani province; and Vajiralongkorn Lake way up towards the northwest end of Kanchanaburi province and accessible from Sangkhlaburi. Kanchanaburi province also has Srinakarin Lake which is even more remote; you'd see it if visiting Huai Mae Khamin Waterfall. Good luck finding a yacht at any of these -- most visitors explore them with locals on longtail boats. For kayaking the best would probably be Chiew Lan Lake since there's enough tourist interest. Kayaks are rented out at the national park rafthouses there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMuhammad Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I haven’t visited too many but I’m personally a fan of Mun Bon in Khon Buri. Huge and very clean, popular with the locals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirineou Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 "Where are the inland lakes in Thailand? " Obviously they are all inland ! But seriously. the Ubol Ratana Dam has created a very nice lake near Khon Kaen in Issan, on one side there is a very nice park with a nice restaurant on top of a hill overlooking the lake, people like to swim on the rocks at the bottom. at songkran they have a nice festival there with events , music, vendors and games, we always go there. on the other side at the bottom of a hill there is a place where they have many bamboo huts by the water where you can sit . eat, have a cold beer and watch the kids play in the water .many vendors will bring food to your hut. Back in the US now working on a project, can't wait to get back home in a few months, Funny when I started considering Thailand home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wake Up Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I like the Khon Kaen lakes. Don’t know their names but nice area and not too crowded with boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
