Not long ago, I was in the beautiful city of Chiang Mai, where stayed with my good friends. They have a habit every weekend to get out on the bike, and not necessarily in the new location, and not necessarily in a tourist and popular. Generally they brought me to the lake Mae Kuang Dam dam that is located on north of Chiang Mai, on a bike to go very close.

Lake Mae Kuang Dam
I can’t say that everyone will like the place, but you know if you live leisurely, and the goals to run around all the sights in the district are not worth it, then go there well, just to stay. Stay in silence alone, or vice versa, alone with someone you love, look at calm surface of the water, to expose the face to the wind and forget for a while about their work, affairs and problems. Here are some of those feelings. Cover me in such places.
In other cases, there is no need to go there, nothing really special will find. On the other hand, it’s good if something is created there. for tourists, it is also not suitable for “thinking”. It seems to be there were going to build resorts once, but the king said let it be as it is. By the way, it was he who developed this dam with reservoir. Who does not know, the Thai king of all trades is master, In particular, he is also an engineer of such facilities.

In addition to trees, flowers are everywhere.

In principle, remembering a point on the map, you will get without problems. On the way there will be several checkpoints and barriers, let them not confused, admission is free and open to all. Tag costs about the first dam, where the spillway and gazebo.
Not a tourist temple with views
A small temple on top of a small hill is hiding among trees, therefore, without knowing about it, most likely you will not get into it, especially there are no pointers anywhere. Scared monks are experiencing sincere interest, when farang falls into their field of view, how can There is no practice in English. On the territory of relatively empty: the temple itself (viharn), a stupa and a couple of gazebos with views of the fields. Surely something else is hidden on the slopes of the hill, like a simple monks’ housing, but here it’s more likely that the views should be jumped in rather than by the temple itself. Well, and not bad so you can sit in a shady arbor, admiring rice fields from a height, and drinking ice water through tubule. Water is free and very handy in such heat
Arbor Review
The view is not amazing, but pleasant
Rice paddies visible
Cool water in the heat is salvation
The temple inside is pretty typical
Bloody painting on the walls
A staircase leads down the hill.
I’ve read it. In short, everything will be fine

If you go to the dam, you can go there, very close.
P.S. Those who are going to Chiang Mai for inspection attractions, I recommend the service for booking hotels RoomGuru and our overview of the guesthouses in the historic center of the city (in square).
