The dam itself is also among the biggest in the country, though the Bhumibol Dam in Tak province is even larger. Still, Srinakarin Dam is absolutely worth a visit! The surrounding nature is stunning, and the nearby Erawan National Park and its famous Erawan Waterfall are must-sees. Around the park, you\u2019ll find plenty of options for water sports and unique places to stay overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-2048x1536.png 2048w, https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-1140x855.png 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Getting There<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s only one road leading to the dam. At the top, you\u2019ll find a small parking lot, some souvenir shops, and a mini supermarket. And, as you\u2019d expect in Thailand, there are plenty of food and drink stalls to enjoy local snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-1-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-1-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-1-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-1-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-1-2048x1536.png 2048w, https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-1-1140x855.png 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Where to Stay<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several places around the lake where you can spend the night. The road to the dam is lined with beautiful resorts\u2014check out the Mida Resort, which is also featured on this site. Coming from Kanchanaburi, you\u2019ll even find floating rooms to stay in just past the dam. One of these spots calls itself the \u201cMaldives of Thailand.\u201d That might be a stretch, but they do offer a unique experience! I haven\u2019t been able to judge the quality myself, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-2-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-2-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-2-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-2-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-2-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-2-2048x1536.png 2048w, https:\/\/thailandtraveltips.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-2-1140x855.png 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Accessibility<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As far as I know, there\u2019s no public transport that goes all the way to the dam, so you\u2019ll need your own vehicle or a taxi to get there. Some tour operators include the dam as part of their trips to Erawan National Park. The dam is about 55 km from Kanchanaburi city, and the road is well maintained. Along the way, you\u2019ll see plenty of signs pointing you in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Location<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n        <div\n            id=\"wpmapblock_a411bfd7\"\n            data-settings='{&quot;map_marker&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;lat&quot;:&quot;14.406948318799463&quot;,&quot;lng&quot;:&quot;99.12635755591948&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;content&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;iconType&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;customIconUrl&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;customIconWidth&quot;:&quot;25&quot;,&quot;customIconHeight&quot;:&quot;40&quot;}],&quot;map_zoom&quot;:&quot;10&quot;,&quot;scroll_wheel_zoom&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;map_type&quot;:&quot;GM&quot;,&quot;center_index&quot;:0}'\n            class=\"wpmapblockrender\"\n            style=\"width: 100%; height: 500px;\">\n        <\/div>\n        ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Must-See in Thailand Srinakarin Dam is located in Kanchanaburi province and has created one of the largest reservoirs in Thailand.
