Attraction Details :
Chakrapong
Reservoir is a gigantic reservoir located at the foot of Khao Ito Hill,
it preserves water from several sources flowing from the top of Khao Ito
mountain. Therefore, it is full of water all year round. Chakrapong
Resevoir is a soil dam, with approximately 16.50 meter height, and 740
meters length. From the entrance of the reservoir, turn left and drive
up to the mountain top to get a striking panoramic view of the
landscape. As you drive up around 11 kilometers (at 6 kilometer stone),
you will encounter a wonder hillock or a fantastic hillock (which covers
the distance around 150 meters). Just park the car and let go the gear,
your car can run up the mountain itself. This phenomenon is caused by
an illusion of the surrounding landscape.
To travel to Chakrapong Reservoir, tourists
can take personal cars, or bicycling along the dam ridge. The perfect
time for a visit is during the morning. Especially in winter, visitors
can admire the fog there, or in the evening, they can also see the
golden sunlight. During the day, travelers can drop by at the
restaurants while enjoying the surrounding nature from Chakrapong
Reservoir.
There is an Information Center Service for
tourists at Wanaputta Uttayan Park, Khao Ito Waterfall, attached to the
reservoir. It has a cool and shady atmosphere. The place provides a
vast space for camping as well. Also, you can notice a small spirit
house (San Phraphum) near the reservoir from the mound of stones.
