Idyllic atmosphere at Sirindhorn dam
At the lakeside of the Sirindhorn dam we had the nice feeling of an awesome place to spend a stopover during the travel back to Bangkok. But the dam hasn't a positive history only.
Some 2,000 villagers were resettled to make way for the dam's reservoir. Many claim they did not receive adequate compensation for the loss of their livelihood and only received compensation for 80% of their land. Furthermore, they claim that the land in the resettlement village is of poor quality and few crops can be grown, and that a proposed irrigation canal was never built.
