Central Thailand / Kanchanaburi / Sri Nakharin Dam

5km (3mi) further up the road to Erawan Falls lie the 91.5m (300ft) high concrete Sri Nakharin Dam and an impressive major hydro-electric power plant. At the dam site, a sizable community lives in a modern housing compound with recreational facilities and guest houses.

From the dam, a two hour's boat trip on the vast reservoir brings the visitors to the picturesque Huai Khamin Falls. The water cascades down an ocher limestone rocks. According to the Tourist Authority of Thailand, the place is "so remote a part of jungle, so far away from civilization that it seems the jungle would close back over the waterfalls, once the tour boat departs out of sight."
