Rabom Dam Reservoir

Notes from our team

What makes it special

What stays with most people is the sheer scale of the view: freshwater stretching to the horizon in front of the tent, mountains behind, and an open sky that frames both morning light and evening glow. Leaving Bangkok at 13:30, even a single hour here feels worth the drive — photos never quite capture the place. This grassy lakeside lawn at the far end of the Pa Sak dam is the main reason people make the trip at all.

Atmosphere

A wide green lawn runs right up to the reservoir, with a line of mountains faintly veiled in mist behind it, especially in the morning. A steady breeze blows through the site all day, keeping tents fresh. Nights here are genuinely quiet — sleeping in a car parked by the water is easy, with nothing to disturb the calm. At dusk the light settles on the water, and much of the camp sits watching it, some with soft music and a cold drink in hand, waiting for the sunset.
