Huai Luang Reservoir, Udon Thani Province, Thailand

4.0 (11 reviews) Spent Ranking #20 in Udon Thani Bodies of Water

Really cool place

The reservoir is just about 35 kms outside of Udon Thani at location 17.360640, 102.562991. You can follow the road to Kut Chap and then turn off just before the town to head to the reservoir. You can ride along the road at the top of the damn if you have a motorcycle and sometimes the gates are open and we've seen cars on the road. People fish from a landing on the other side of the damn. At the east end is a government facility and some docks where you can rent a pontoon boat for the day or hour. 100 thb per hour or 1000 thb for the day. You can fish from the pontoon boat or bring your own food and relax. It's not setup for foreign tourists so if you like to "live like the locals" you will love this, otherwise, probably not.

    My most memorable floating lunch
    This is from 2007, but I doubt it has changed much. Six of us went to the reservoir, our Thai friends ordered lunch, the basket was brought out, the boatman pushed us out into the water and there we floated eating an awesome lunch (and the fried crickets and spicy fruit salad we'd picked up in town). After lunch, we were pushed to the bamboo forest (the name escapes me) where we wandered and tried to talk over the roaring cicadas. Highly recommended if you're in Udon Thani!

    Picnic in winter?
    - nice to go have a picnic here - a little far from town about 1 hr drive - recommended to go in between Nov - Jan as the temp is going to cool down, otherwise it would be real hot
