Local knowledge and community efforts have created a picturesque landmark that is unique to this subdistrict of Maha Sarakham.

The Nong Kae Dam is the name of the local lake, which was once a small stream. Due to persistent rainfall, this stream grew into a large lake, and the local residents, seeking a way to cross the water, joined forces and built a wooden bridge that stretches over a kilometer across the lake.

Aside from the history and years of this unique bridge, this lake is home to a great variety of freshwater animals, especially wild birds.
