Landscape view of Lam Takhong dam in Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand

The Lam Takhong Dam (Thai: เขื่อนลำตะคอง; RTGS: khuean lam ta khong) is an embankment dam on the Lam Takhong River between Pak Chong District and Sikhio District in Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand. The dam was originally constructed in 1974 for the purposes of irrigation and water supply but after 2002, its water storage also serves as the lower reservoir for the Lam Takhong pumped storage power plant, Thailand's first power plant of that type.
