Vajiralongkorn Dam (Thai: เขื่อนวชิราลงกรณ; RTGS: Khuean Wachiralongkon), also called the Khao Laem Dam (เขื่อนเขาแหลม),[1] is a concrete-faced rock-fill dam (CFRD)[2] in Thong Pha Phum District in Kanchanaburi, Thailand. The dam lies across the Khwae Noi River (River Kwai) and was renamed Vajiralongkorn Dam after King Vajiralongkorn on 13 July 2001 when he was crown prince. Vajiralongkorn Dam is Thailand's first CFRD and supplies a 300 MW hydroelectric power station with water. The dam was built and is managed by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT).[3]
