Sam Ngao

Sam Ngao occupies a low riverside setting on the Ping River in Tak Province, northern Thailand. The district is closely associated with Bhumibol Dam, which impounds the Ping and forms Bhumibol Reservoir; completed in 1964, it was Thailand’s first multipurpose dam. Hydropower and water management have made this stretch of river important far beyond the town, while the reservoir gives the area a broad inland-water character. Sam Ngao helps illustrate how Tak Province changes from river valleys toward the uplands of western Thailand.
