Thailand may be famous for its mesmerizing beaches everywhere, but don’t be surprised to find locals and tourists to some of the beautiful lakes in Thailand. ... read more...

  1. Kwan Phayao Lake is a semi-natural freshwater lake in northern Thailand that occupies roughly 21 square kilometers. Visitors to Kwan Phayao will be astounded by the lake's vastness and beauty, which is framed by distant mountains. Kwan Phayao Lake is a renowned tourist destination in Phayao. The humidity in the area is usually between 70% and 80%, and the yearly rainfall is around 1064 mm.


    Aquatic plants found in Lake Kwan Phayao include Najas graminea and Ceratophyllum demersum. Hundreds of fish and bird species can be found here. It was built to increase irrigation in the area. The most notable feature, though, is perhaps the temple, which is half-submerged beneath the lake's glistening surface. As a result, any plans to rebuild the temple have been put on hold because of environmental damage. This ancient temple, which is thought to be over 500 years old, has not always been immersed in water.


    It is now the largest lake in Northern Thailand and one of the most beautiful lakes to visit in Thailand.

  2. Mae Hong Son is a sleepy northern city near the Myanmar border. The city emanates beauty and charm, with mountainous scenery and the gorgeous Pang Ung Lake a little over two hours away, making it the ideal destination for individuals who enjoy exploring the natural world. The path to the lake is winding, but the eventual result is well worth the dizzying ride.


    The view of Pang Ung Lake, the pine foliage, the lovely mountain scenery, and the hazy fog in the morning are all popular among visitors. A lush pine forest surrounds it. Walking and jogging around the lakeshore are popular among visitors. Around the lake, there are additional camping spots and guesthouses. Pang Ung is also known as "Switzerland in Thailand" at times. When the temperature dips below zero during the winter, ice covering forms on the flowers and plants. Misty mornings greet early risers since this area can get a little relaxed, especially from November through February.


    Do not expect 5-star amenities, as there are only simple homestays and accommodation options, as well as areas where visitors can pitch their own tents.

  3. Songkhla Town, about 16 miles from Hat Yai, is sometimes overlooked by tourists due to its remote location in Thailand's far south. Currently, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office advises against all but necessary travel to a few provinces, including Songkhla. That being said, Thale Sap Songkhla, located just outside of Songkhla Town, is one of the most beautiful lakes to visit in Thailand. Thale Sap Songkhla, also known as The Lake of Phattalung, is around 1040 square kilometers in size. Thale Sap is one of three main lakes that comprise the Songkhla Lakes, the other two being Thale Noi and Thale Luang.


    This gorgeous lake is Thailand's largest, and like most bodies of water, it is best explored at sunrise or sunset. The lake is separated into three sections. Songkhla, in the southern section, connects to the Gulf of Thailand. The Thale Luang is located further north. There are various islands in Thale Sap Songkhla Lake, including Mark Island, Four Islands, Five Islands, Nang Kam Island, and Yo Island... Because the water in the lake is a combination of seawater and freshwater, the water conditions and amount of water in the lake are determined by the amount of freshwater and seawater that flows into the lake.

  4. Nong Han Lake, also known as Talay Bua Dang ("red lotus sea"), is not as large as Lake Songkhla but is no less impressive. The lake borders Laos and is surrounded by Phu Phan National Park and Phu Phan Yon National Park. This very modest lake is several meters deep all year. It does, however, diminish in size during the dry season, which lasts from November to March. The lake is flanked by gentle hills on all sides, providing breathtaking views no matter where visitors find themselves.


    Nong Han Lake is consistently ranked as one of the world's most beautiful lakes. It receives its name from the crimson lotus flowers that bloom between December and February. This is a lovely time when the entire surface of the lake is dyed in vivid hues ranging from delicate pink to intense fuchsia. An incredible sight to behold. You can rent traditional small Thai boats to get to the center of the lake and row via a pre-determined course designed to protect the floating flowers. Boat cruises allow you to see the stunning phenomenon at its best. The best time to visit is undoubtedly before the sun rises on the horizon, when the heat causes the blooms to close.


    Local fishermen looking for lotus seeds are common, as are little shrines built on tiny islands in the distance. Millions of pink water lilies cover the calm waterways, which are occupied by a wide range of birds such as herons and hawks, making this a beautiful site that many newlyweds use as a backdrop for their wedding picture session.

  5. The sky takes on a magnificent red glow as dawn breaks. Water buffalo make leisurely progress to their feeding grounds, while birds on the wing dance through the air. Fishermen begin their day's work by tending to their traditional nets, like their father and grandfather did before them. Nothing except water and marshland with beautiful pink water lilies for miles. Thousands upon thousands of pink water lilies as far as the eye can see. It's impossible not to be moved by the natural beauty of Thale Noi while sailing through it on a longtail boat.


    The name translates as "little sea" and is sometimes spelt as Talay Noy. Thale Noi, one of Thailand's most biodiverse locations, is a huge freshwater lagoon located in the southern Thai district of Phatthalung, just north of Songkhla Lake. More than 280 species of aquatic birds live in the marshes, with some staying all year.


    Thale Noi's natural features make it a memorable place to visit. And being able to experience the local way of life makes this magical region of Phatthalung even more remarkable. Locals in the village of Ban Thale Noi still follow the old ways of doing things, relying on wisdom and abilities passed down from generation to generation. Every morning, the fishermen tend to the massive square-shaped nets that are set on a wooden frame known as 'yo' in Thai. The nets are dipped in water and hoisted to collect fish, which are then sold at local markets.

  6. Bueng Boraphet is a semi-natural lake in Nakorn Sawan province, central Thailand, whose water level varies with the seasons, with the highest levels at the conclusion of the wet season and the beginning of the dry season, and getting rather low at times around April.


    The lake is one of Thailand's largest and most famous wetland habitats, thanks to the discovery of the virtually mythical White-eyed River Martin in 1968 and all subsequent sightings of the bird (up to 1980) that occurred here. This species is unlikely to be seen again, but the combination of reedbeds, lotus and lilies, open water, and scrubland offers for a superb birding spectacle at any time of year, though the majority of species will be seen during the dry season.


    Although this site is designated as a non-hunting area, the habitat itself receives little protection, the reed beds have been greatly reduced as a result of human disturbance, and the lake's margins are under increasing pressure from development and conversion to rice fields; while fishing is permitted, hunting of birds is not permitted.


    Boat cruises for birdwatching or sightseeing are a popular choice for both birders and non-birders, and the crocodile breeding center provides an opportunity to observe these beasts up close, but many of them have escaped due to heavy flooding and can be found in the lake itself! Aside from the birds, the stunning display of water lilies and lotus blossoms is a sight to behold and makes for excellent photography.
