While shooting this timelapse, and admiring the view, I had no idea that this was a man made lake. This was just a river winding through the valley before the dam was built.

"The Kaeng Krachan Dam is a multi-purpose hydroelectric dam in the Kaeng Krachan District of Phetchaburi Province, Thailand. The dam impounds the Phetchaburi River. It was officially opened in 1966 by King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit.

Kaeng Krachan Dam is an earth dam. It is 760 m (2,490 ft) long and 58 m (190 ft) high. Its reservoir has a maximum storage capacity of 710,000,000 m3 (2.5×1010 cu ft) with a catchment area of 46.5 km2 (18.0 sq mi).

The dam is considered multi-purpose, supporting electricity generation, irrigation, water supply, fisheries and recreation activities. The islands in the reservoir were local hills prior to their submergence." -Wikipedia

I made this time stack by combining 250 photos into one image via the mean stacking mode in photoshop.
