Reservoir Sights

  1. Huay Teung Thao Reservoir

    Thais love lounging by the water and this sizeable reservoir, at the northwestern foot of Doi Suthep-Pui National Park, has become more than just a piece of infrastructure. The banks are dotted with floating bamboo huts (10B per person), where Thais come to snack on fried bugs (another reservoir pastime), share a bottle of whisky and perfect the art of relaxation. The reservoir is about 12km northwest of the city. Travelling by car or motorcycle you can reach Huay Teung Thao by driving 10km north on Rte 107 (follow signs towards Mae Rim), then west 2km past an army camp to the reservoir.

    Boulder Reservoir

    When you're this far from the ocean, the reservoir is where folks come to suntan, swim, boat, and wakeboard. Unfortunately there were no boating or wakeboarding concessions open at research time, so you may have to settle for a dip. And on the right day at the right time, that will be good enough, we assure you.

    Dogs are not allowed into the park between May 15 and Labor Day, but are allowed in during the off-season.
