Bhumibol Dam is a concrete arch dam on the Ping River, a tributary of the Chao Phraya. The dam was built for water reservoir and hydroelectric power. The layered mountainous backdrop is spectacular when viewed from the top of the dam. There are accommodations, recreational areas, restaurants, a golf course, and even a stretch of sandy beach at the dam. We stayed for a while admiring the view and had some photo shots.

We continued our journey to Mae Sot and checked in Pin Yin Hotel at B600/night. This hotel is formerly known as Arissa Homes, our favorite lodging in Mae Sot. After jamak prayers, we drove around town to look for Muslim restaurants but all had ceased operations except those around Masjid Nurun Isalam.
We had rice, chicken and beef curry for our early dinner at a Muslim restaurant in front of the mosque.
