Situated amid serene natural beauty and fenced by peaks of mountains, this virgin lake has all year round sky blue water. Nong Fa Lake was formed by volcanic eruption. Accordingly, it is located on the top of a mountain 1200-1500 above sea level, and in the boundary of Dong Ampham National Protected Area. Though its depth and width have not yet been measured, it is thought to be the biggest in Asia.
Villagers believe the lake is sacred. Its banks and surroundings are perpetually green, the stream coming off it provides irrigation, and the area contains minerals, such as sapphire and gold, hence providing excellent livelihood opportunities for the locals.
