We have just spent a bit of time exploring the Pran Buri Dam: it’s big! We drove past this dam last year but didn’t get down to it then: we were on our way to a sheep farm in the wilderness!
Anyway, there was a high quality dirt track going round the lake so we followed that for a few kilometres and you cannot imagine our surprise when we came across a local village shop, selling the usual village things. The surprise centered around there being no village! There were maybe four or five buildings in the entire few kilometres we drove down!
Immediately after the shop there was a smaller track going down to the lakeshore so we followed that, parked the car and took a look around. There’s horticulture going on down there and some form of aquaculture although I don’t know what.
The dam wall is very long at at least a kilometre and we drove across there,
The area below the dam was full of farms and plantations. It looks like everyone in the area benefits from the water and fertile soil.
