The dam is the prefect spot for fishing, swimming, sunbathing and relaxing. Incorporated into the Sri Lanna National Park, the local authorities permitted a certain number of houseboats to be moored on the lake as fish farms Abundant in freshwater fish, the fish farms soon started receiving requests from tourists and fishermen to stay overnight and most began catering to the demand.
In addition, the other thing to do, of course, is swim. The water is cool and refreshingly clean (no chlorine to contend with). So get your bikini out - the one you haven't had a chance to don since Phuket 2006 - and cool off in the lake. With the clear air and the fresh breeze that Mae Ngat enjoys, this is an opportunity to top up your tan. Take Sunblock. You'll need it if you like swimming and sun worshipping.
