Mae Kuang Dam Viewpoint (เขื่อนแม่กวงอุดมธารา เชียงใหม่) Chaing Mai, Thailand #SMSnotes

Great place for an out of town trip from Chiang Mai. Take some food with you and enjoy the sun ☀️ set. Most days people come to enjoy the nice atmosphere around that time.



One of my favorite places in chiangmai..as i have much memories here.
Relaxing wide view of the lake and at the bridge open wind with less people.
Bit too hot weather at noon..


Nice view point from the top of the dam. Please note that the google navigation might lead you to a wrong location. To get there, you will need to pass through a gated area with green sign showing “Man Dam & view point”.


Beautiful spot to ride to on ebikes. Tours here guided by experts in ebiking, SurRon, Rydeculture etc etc. Lovely jungle trails for experienced trail riders and beginners alike. Great sunsets here and a couple of good seafood restaurants on the lake shores. Highly recommended by ebikeCNX and the group riders.


On a fine day you get great views across the lake to the mountains beyond as the sun shines from behind you as you face the Dam. Views into the valley not so good as you face into the sun. Beware if following Google Maps as will ring you to a closed off road on the West side of the Dam. I had to double back and found the correct route through the National Park entrance on the East Side. Water level is quite low at the moment as you can see clearly from Drone photo.


It's beautiful beyond words and definitely worth visiting! There are no tourists at all, and the scenery is very shocking! However, there will be some problems with Google's navigation. It took us a long way, and when we found it impassable, we spared ourselves a long way to find our way. In short, here, you can enjoy the most beautiful scenery in Chiang Ma
