This popular boat trip takes tourists to see the area where the three mighty rivers meet. One of the most memorable sights are the ruins of the submerged old Wat Wangwiwekaram. Once the heart of the old town, it was lost to the swirling waters of the dam back in 1984 but sometimes can still be seen.
When the waters are high only the upper part of temple’s old buildings and bell tower are visible. But in the hottest part of the year, between April and July, the water levels are low enough to walk around the ruins.
Most boat trips take place in the morning or evening, when the sun gives the temple a haunting and majestic aura.
A return boat trip takes an hour and generally costs between 250-300 Baht. Most boat tour operators can be found around the bridge area.
