Kaeng Loeng Chan

Kaeng Loeng Chan is a large freshwater reservoir and public recreation lake located in Kaeng Loeng Chan Subdistrict, Mueang Maha Sarakham District, Maha Sarakham Province, northeastern Thailand. Situated a few kilometres from Maha Sarakham city centre, it serves as the city's main water storage and leisure area. Notable for its expansive lake, lakeside park, jogging and cycling paths, and sunset views, it is a popular spot for exercise, picnics, fishing and local dining.

Visitors can expect a large open reservoir surrounded by a landscaped public park with paved walking, jogging and cycling paths, lakeside pavilions, seating areas and fitness equipment. The setting is flat and open with views across the water, especially at sunset. Areas to explore include the lakeside promenade, park grounds, fishing spots and clusters of local restaurants and food stalls along the shore. The atmosphere is that of a local leisure and exercise area rather than a developed tourist complex.

Developed as a water storage reservoir for Maha Sarakham to support municipal water supply, irrigation and flood mitigation, and later landscaped and developed as the city's principal public recreation area

Serves as the central leisure and social gathering place for Maha Sarakham residents for daily exercise, family picnics and community events, including seasonal festivals such as Loy Krathong held at the lakeside
