It kind of looks like Lam Changhan Reservoir in Burriram province, but I have not been there for over 10 years.
 
Sure looks like a poultry operation...though I have not a clue where. Guessing near Kap Cheung.
 
A clue. Its in the Chong Chom Market area. NOW what r u looking at ? Put your specks on and take a real close look at the upper right hand corner of the photo.:rolleyes:

1 out of 3 is not bad. Yes the O'Smach Casino and crossing is in the upper right hand corner. The reservoir is the Phong Thong Reservoir which just barely is inside Thailand. The complex at the bottom of the reservoir is the original Chong Chom Market where I first visited in 06. 08 it was moved where its is today. In 08 it also burtn down. In 2012 the orginal Chong Chome Market was rebuilt, very nicely but to no avail and is still not used. This market area and reservoir is about 2 km south of the 214 highway split to the crossing and can be easily reached.
 
If they closed the current market, the new one might come into use. Better location in my view. Clear the main road of parked cars.

Did anyone go to the old market (shown in the photo) when you could be taken by a form of rickshaw up the steep slope to the border (one man pulling and several pushing), whilst on the way back, one man would gallop down. The rickshaw held around 6 people and cost from memory 10baht. Later replaced by motorcycles, before the ,market moved. A great experience.
