Bhumibol Dam is the first multi-purpose dam in Thailand. It is a concrete arch dam and the first dam in Thai history, which is the origin of systematic and sustainable water management. In order to be in line with the objective of being a multi-purpose dam, the reservoir can be used in many ways, such as storing or slowing down water during the flood season to prevent and alleviate floods. However, it must not be too high to affect the flooded area around the reservoir, and the safety of the dam itself. It can also discharge water for consumption, agriculture, and the preservation of the ecosystem, including other benefits resulting from the discharge of water from the Bhumibol Dam. It was established after World War II. The government at that time had the idea of ​​building a large power plant, especially a hydroelectric power plant, which could quickly bring electricity into the system. Therefore, the “Committee for Considering the Construction of Power Plants Nationwide” was established to survey areas for power plant construction nationwide. It was found that the Ping River in the Yan Ri or Yanhee Valley, Sam Ngao District, Tak Province, was very suitable for building a dam. This led to the survey. “Yanhee Dam” in 1952 and started construction in 1957-1964 and in the same year, “Yanhee Electricity Authority” (EGAT) was established to be responsible for the construction of the dam and to produce electricity for the central and northern regions. Benefits in terms of electricity It can produce 560 megawatts of electricity or 2,200 million units per year, which can be sent to provinces in the north, central, east and west, including 36 provinces. In terms of irrigation in the rainy season, the area on the Ping River basin from the dam down to the rice fields can be used for rice farming of approximately 1,500,000 rai. In the dry season, it can help the area in the Chao Phraya Project produce dry season crops of approximately 2,000,000 rai. In terms of transportation, which is the heart of transportation in the central region, a boat with a draft of 2 meters can travel from Nakhon Sawan Province to Hot District, Chiang Mai Province, a distance of 400 kilometers. This dam can store up to 12,200 million cubic meters of water. It may be able to retain the water that flows in the rainy season, which will help alleviate flooding. In 1957, His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great granted the name of the dam as “Bhumibol Dam”. On May 17, 1964, His Majesty traveled with Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother, to perform the dam opening ceremony and pressed the button to connect the first generator to the system. Since that day, the Bhumibol Dam Hydroelectric Power Plant has been generating electricity for the happiness of Thai people. #tripพาบินเที่ยวจีน

And it is ranked 8th in the world, blocking the Ping River at Khao Kaew, Sam Ngao District, Tak Province. The reservoir can hold up to 13,462 million cubic meters of water. His Majesty the King laid the foundation stone for the construction on June 24, 1961. The initial construction consisted of the construction of the dam, the power transmission system, and the power plant building, which installed generators 1-2 with a capacity of 70,000 kilowatts each, and were able to supply electricity on May 17 and June 15, 1964, respectively.
