Khao Yai Thiang Viewpoint
เขายายเที่ยง
A ridge lined with white wind turbines overlooking the blue-green Lam Takhong Reservoir. It is one of the most popular sunset and photo spots around Khao Yai.
Khao Yai Thiang lies northeast of Pak Chong, in Sikhio district. It is a ridge overlooking Lam Takhong Reservoir. Along the ridge stands a row of white wind turbines operated by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand. Together with the winding lake below, Route 2 and the distant Khao Yai mountains, they make a sweeping view. Along the ridge road, there are several viewpoints and small cafés. In the evening, locals come to watch the sunset, ride bikes and have picnics. You can also stop at the dam area of Lam Takhong Reservoir below, where lakeside restaurants serve river fish. Admission is free. Getting there: it takes about 30 to 40 minutes by car from Pak Chong along Route 2 toward Nakhon Ratchasima, then about 15 minutes uphill. There is no public transport, so you will need your own car or a chartered vehicle. Please note: the mountain roads are narrow and winding, so drive slowly. Winds are strong in the evening, so bring a jacket. Do not climb over the fences in the wind turbine area.
