This rest area is also known as Suan Na Chat, is a rest area for vehicle drivers to relax from driving. It is on Highway No. 2 (Saraburi-Nakhon Ratchasima) between the 193 and 194 kilometer markers on an area of 16.89 square kilometers. This place offers the most beautiful view north of Lam Takhong reservoir. It has a complete range of services and facilities and is an example of a modern rest area. Moreover, it is called the gateway to the Northeast.
The Information Center in the rest area provides tourist information about the northeastern provinces, accommodations, viewpoints, a garden, food and beverage stores, a convenience store, restrooms, and public telephones. In addition, there is also a sculpture of General Chatchai Choonhavan, a former prime minister, in a standing position with arms folded and leaning against his favorite motorcycle. The sculpture measures 3.40 meters high and is made from green sandstone.
The main activity for visitors at Lam Takhong is rafting on a route that goes past homes, orchards and green trees. The difficulty level is at 1-2, which is not too hard for rafting novices. Moreover, the area is suitable for a family outing. The best time to visit is between May and September because there is lots of water that can create some excitement that is not dangerous. During the dry season there is too little water for rafting. Each rafting trip takes about 2 hours and visitors can add to their enjoyment by taking an elephant ride afterwards.
