Namkheng in brief


Location:
Rafting area is located between kilometers from 45- 53 along highway of number 12,Phitsanulok- Lomsak in Wangthong district- Phitsanulok.It is far from Phitsanulok downtown around 40kms.

3) Nature of stream
The area of upstream in the past is the forest land. When the hill tribes migrated to settle down, it includes doctrine and politic problems and destroys the forest to enrich soil for agriculture, so the forest land is reduced. The land surface was washed out when it is raining. The water in the Kheng river would be cloudy in the raining season but around the late raining season, from October- November, the water would be clear.
4) Namkheng Rafting:
The area that can raft to be safe, it starts from Ban Pakyang, Tam bon Saphaiwan to Keangsong – Wangthong district. The distance is around 3kms, and takes you there around 3 hours.
The starting point has three places .
- The starting point 1 at Saphaiwan Grand Hotel and Resort
- The starting point 2 at Ban Tha Kham.
- Th starting point 3 at Phanawan Resort Port.
Namkheng Rafting
Kheng river is located in Phitsanulok Province, the upstream is originated from flowing pass in some parts of Nakhonthai district, Salangluang National park in Wangthong district to the Nan river in Bangkratum district. It is for the rafting area far from Phitsanulok downtown around 40 kms.

It is very comfortable to travel to Phitsanulok by railway, car and air. Tourists can start from Bangkok and go by car and air to nearby province that has old capital and ancient city in Khamphengphet and Sukhothai province. Phitsanulok province has many ancient buildings, it s advantageous for natural attraction. There is also a beautiful waterfall in Namkheng area such as Sridit Waterfall, Keangsopha waterfall, Poi waterfall and Keangsong waterfall.

Accession to rafting area is more comfortable than other places. Because it has the highway number 12 from Phitsanulok –Lomsak and gets along to the way of water level from 1-5.

Two coast area also have resort, food shops and villages. It is convenient and not really expensive. There is variety of beautiful sceneries along two coasts and located resorts with Keng river such as Saphaiwan, Grand Hotel and Resort, Phanawan, and Warithinan.

From the variety of above elements proved that Namkheng rafting is worth to be case study.
12) The idea for architectural design.

The most important port design must be in ministerial regulations such as 63 edition and 64 edition . It will be passed the permission of Harbor Department.
The feature of port depends on a type and size of boat including quality of user. The design must be done by the constructive engine and a right license.
