Kaeng Suea Ten

Kaeng Suea Ten is a natural river rapids on the Yom River in Sa-iap Subdistrict, Song District, Phrae Province, northern Thailand. The site features a wide rocky riverbed with large boulders and forested banks within a preserved teak forest area. Notable for its scenic natural landscape and as the location of a long-proposed but unbuilt dam project, it remains a quiet nature spot for sightseeing, photography and observing seasonal river flows.

Visitors can expect a wide, shallow stretch of the Yom River with exposed bedrock, large boulders and rocky channels surrounded by mixed deciduous and teak forest. In the dry season rocks are fully exposed and walkable, while in the rainy season water flows through the rapids. There are no major built structures; the area is natural and open, suitable for walking along the riverbank, viewing the river landscape and photography.

Kaeng Suea Ten has been known since the 1980s as a surveyed site for a proposed dam on the Yom River. The dam was not constructed and the area has remained as a natural rapids and forest landscape along the Yom River.

The Yom River and its rapids are part of the local landscape and livelihood in Song District, with surrounding communities traditionally connected to the river and forest. The site reflects local appreciation for the natural river environment and teak forest heritage of Phrae Province.
