Rasi Salai Dam

The Rasi Salai Dam (Thai: เขื่อนราษีไศล, RTGS: Khuean Rasi Salai, pronounced [kʰɯ̀a̯n rāː.sǐː sā.lǎj]) is a dam in Rasi Salai District, Sisaket Province, Thailand, constructed in 1992. It was constructed by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) with assistance from the World Bank (As of 2020 the dam does not appear on EGAT's website.) The 17 m high dam was projected to cost 140 million baht. Its final cost was 871 million baht, not including compensation payments to affected residents. Background The Rasi Salai Dam was constructed by the Department of Energy Development and Promotion (DEDP) as part of the Khong-Chee-Mun Water Diversion Project. The project envisioned the building of 13 dams on the Chi and Mun Rivers over 42 years. It was thought that the diversion of water from the Mekong into the two rivers would end water shortages in northeastern Thailand. The entire diversion project was estimated to cost 228 billion baht. Villagers claim that DEDP did not release any information to the public before or during the dam's construction. DEDP claimed it was building a 4.5-metre rubber weir that would not raise water levels above the riverbank. In reality, the state agency was building a nine-metre concrete dam. No environmental assessment was ever conducted given that the DEDP claimed it was a small-scale project. Living River Siam, a Thai NGO, helped villagers document the effects of the dam on their lives. EGAT promised that the dam's waters would be used to irrigate local fields, but the dam flooded the ancient salt dome on which it was constructed. The result was non-potable brackish water that made nearby fields toxic to cultivation. Angry villagers occupied the dam site for two years and petitioned the government to close it down. The dam's gates were opened in 2000 pending a permanent resolution of the issue. The water management system decided upon involves opening the dam's gates for four months every year, June to September. Compensation After on-going demonstrations by villagers, in 2000 the DEDP paid compensation to private property owners only. Those who toiled on common land were not compensated. As a result of 18 demonstrations against the Rasi Salai Dam, the Chavalit government paid compensation to 1,154 of the 3,000 affected families. Squabbles over compensation divided families and communities. In April 2019, almost 30 years after the dam's construction, the Royal Irrigation Department (RID), which took over the project from the Energy Ministry in 2002, agreed to make a final compensation payment of 600 million baht. RID will pay 32,000 baht per rai over the next two years to those impacted by the dam. From 1997 to 2017, up to 1.927 billion baht has been paid in compensation to farmers for 60,000 rai (9,600 hectares) of affected land. This final package will cover a remaining 8,469 rai (1,355 hectares) of land affected by the dam. References External links Department of Provincial Administration (DOPA) report (Thai)

Sirindhorn Dam

The Sirindhorn Dam is in Sirindhorn District, Ubon Ratchatani, Thailand. It impounds the Lam Dom Noi River, and its reservoir is the province's largest water resource. The dam was commissioned in 1971 to serve as a hydropower facility as well as to supply irrigation water. The dam was named after Princess Royal Sirindhorn. All of the electricity generated by the dam is destined for domestic markets. The dam was constructed and is owned and operated by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand and is located in the Mekong River Basin, just upstream from the controversial Pak Mun Dam. Some 2,000 villagers were resettled to make way for the dam's reservoir. Many claim they did not receive adequate compensation for the loss of their livelihood and only received compensation for 80% of their land. Furthermore, they claim that the land in the resettlement village is of poor quality and few crops can be grown, and that a proposed irrigation canal was never built. The reservoir and dam power the Sirindhorn Hydropower Plant, which has an installed capacity of 3 units of 12,000 kilowatts each and annual energy production of 90 GWh. More than 144,000 floating solar panels were installed in 2021, increasing the power to 45 MW. Though covering less than 1% of the reservoir's surface area, the floating solar panels prevent 460,000 cubic meters of evaporative water loss per year. There is a park near the dam headquarters and a restaurant and bungalows for visitors. There is a golf course in this area also, at the north end of the lake. The Nature Walkway was introduced in 2021. This viewpoint offers tourists a good overview of the reservoir.

Сіріндхорнське водосховище

Сіріндхорнське водосховище — штучна водойма в провінції Убон Рачатані, Таїланд, назване в честь принцеси Сіріндхорн. Історія Водойма з'явилася внаслідок загачування річки Дом Ной Сіріндхорнською дамбою в 1968 році. Конструкцію звели для електрифікації провінції. Сіріндхорнська гідроелектростанція, запущена в 1971 році, має три 13-мегаватні генератори і виробляє 90 ГВатт енергії в рік. Загачування річки Дом Ной зруйнувало місцеву екосистему і затопило велику територію, що належала фермерам. Місцеве населення почало протестувати проти спорудження дамби після початку її спорудження. Напроти в'їзду на дамбу було споруджено протестне містечко. Уряд обіцяв компенсувати втрати фермерам, проте на 2014 рік компенсували лише 80 %. Кожна сім'я мала отримати по $560, проте через корупцію гроші видавали вибірково. Туризм Сіріндхорнське водосховище — популярне місце відпочинку. Вода у водоймі прозора і придатна для купання, на відміну від навколишніх річок. Уздовж берегової лінії розміщуються пансіонати та ресторани. Побудовані надводні бунгало, які можна орендувати на день. На північному березі є гольф-клуб. Джерела
SCB Park Plaza

SCB Park Plaza or Siam Commercial Bank Park Plaza is a high-rise building complex in the Chatuchak District of Bangkok, Thailand. It was completed in 1996 and houses the headquarters of Siam Commercial Bank, as well as other office tenants and retail space. The complex occupies 52 rai (8.3 ha; 21 acres) on Ratchadaphisek Road, near Ratchayothin Intersection, and was designed by Thailand-based American architect Robert G. Boughey. It was built over four years at a cost of around 10 billion baht (US$400M at the time). It was one of the first buildings in Thailand to employ intelligent systems to optimize energy efficiency, and was unique at the time for the development of an entire complex as a single project under a common overarching design. The complex consists of three groups of buildings: the 37-storey main tower, marked by its golden pyramidal roof, with an adjoining 24-storey section; SCB Park Plaza West, comprising two buildings of 12 and 21 storeys; and SCB Park Plaza East, with two buildings of 21 and 5 storeys. Each group rises above a connected retail podium, and is served by entirely underground parking. The design heavily features triangular forms, and all the glass curtain-walled buildings feature floor plans based on a triangular grid. A huge triangular skylight covers the atrium of the main building. The complex houses the headquarters of Siam Commercial Bank, which received renovations in the 2010s, as well as offices of several other corporations; Unilever had its Thailand headquarters here until 2015. Designed with the goal of being an integrated city environment, the complex also features a large number of shops and restaurants in its podium mall, and is a popular destination for people who live and work in the area. High-profile accidents occurred at the building in 2015 and 2016. In February 2015, a fire damaged three floors of the bank headquarters and killed one firefighter, while in March 2016, a chemical accident killed eight people (seven contractors and a security guard) servicing a fire-suppression system in a document vault in the building's basement.
