Huay Tung Tao Reservoir: Chiang Mai’s Scenic Escape for Lakeside Adventures & Cultural Exploration

Discovering Huay Tung Tao Reservoir

A Man-Made Marvel at the Foot of Doi Suthep
Nestled beneath the iconic Doi Suthep mountain range, Huay Tung Tao Reservoir is a serene artificial lake built in 1983 under King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s royal initiative to combat water scarcity in Chiang Mai’s agricultural communities. Its dual role as a vital irrigation source and a leisure hotspot makes it a must-visit destination for both locals and travelers1.

Activities & Attractions at the Lake

From Waterfront Relaxation to Thrilling Adventures
Visitors can rent bamboo huts over the water for lakeside picnics, swim in designated shallow zones, or try activities like paddle-boating, ATV rides, and a 200-baht zipline across the reservoir. The adjacent Huai Tueng Thao Sculpture Park features whimsical straw sculptures of elephants, gorillas, and peacocks, perfect for quirky photo ops. Animal lovers can also visit the nearby Sheep Farm to interact with friendly flocks.

Practical Visitor Information

Entry Fees, Hours, and Local Tips
The entrance fee is 20 baht for locals and 50 baht for foreigners. Most facilities, including food vendors and rental services, operate from 10 AM to 5 PM. Weekends and dry seasons (November–April) draw larger crowds, so arrive early for quieter moments. Bring small bills for hut rentals (40–80 baht) and local snacks like grilled fish or som tam sold lakeside.

Cultural & Ecological Significance

A Hub for Festivals and Environmental Stewardship
Huay Tung Tao hosts traditional Thai festivals like Loy Krathong, where floating lanterns illuminate the lake in a tribute to water spirits. Ecologically, the reservoir supports local biodiversity, replenishes groundwater, and sustains nearby farms—showcasing how conservation and tourism coexist harmoniously.
