The 928th tallest dam in the world

m

The Lam Takhong Dam (RTGS: Khuean Lam Takhong, pronounced [kʰɯ̀a̯n lām tā.kʰɔ̄ːŋ]) is an embankment dam on the Lam Takhong River between Pak Chong District and Sikhio District in Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand. The dam was originally constructed in 1974 for the purposes of irrigation and water supply but after 2002, its water storage also serves as the lower reservoir for the Lam Takhong pumped storage power plant, Thailand's first power plant of that type.
