West Side  East Side

Also know as Pattaya Song (2), this is a good place for the family to eat lunch, let the children play in the reservoir, take a boat ride, or even better yet get on the bananna boat for an enjoyable but bumpy ride. Numerous food stalls line the shore of the reservoir, umbrellas and ground mats can be rented to sit on the ground and for shade from the sun.

Getting there:

Travel West on route 12 from Khon Kaen city center. At around 36 kilometers (about 45 minutes) at the village of Nong Rua there will be a large dinosaur which will indicate that road number 2038 is on the right. Follow 2038 North until the village of Phu Wiang. There are plenty of signs in Thai indicating which turns to take to get to Pattaya Song, it can be rather challenging if Thai is not your native language. After going through several small villages and 40 minutes later you will arrive at the West side of the reservoir.
