The Ubol Ratana Dam (formerly known as the Phong Neeb Dam) is a multi-purpose dam located in Tambon Kok-Soong Ubol Ratana District approximately 50 km (31 mi) north of Khon Kaen Khon Kaen Province Thailand. It was the first hydroelectric power project developed in the Thailand’s northeastern area of Isan. The dam impounds the Nam Phong a tributary of the Mekong River. The dam was given its current name by Royal Permission in 1966 in honour of Thai princess Ubolratana Rajakanya.
