Si
Nakharin Dam and Reservoir
 A
few kilometers north of the Erawan Falls along Route 3199
is the 300-feet-high concrete Si Nakharin Dam and the huge
Si Nakharin reservoir behind it. Located about 69 km north
of Kanchanaburi town, the dam site hosts a small community
of electricity authority personnel and associated facilities.
Several lakeside resorts are available on the southeast shore
of the reservoir providing accommodation for a few hundred
baht per night.
Long-tailed
boats can be hired in the village of Ban Tha Kradan or the
town of Si Sawat to cruise around the reservoir or to take
the two-hour trip to the beautiful Huai Khamin falls on the
opposite (western) shore of the lake. It's best to hire a
boat in a group, as the cost may be several thousand baht
for the day. Buses from Kanchanaburi to Erawan and Si Nakharin
Dam leave from 8.00 am and the trip takes about 2 hours.
