Nakhon ratchasima: As water levels at the Mun Bon Dam in Nakhon Ratchasima province continue to recede, millions of seashells that were previously buried underwater have been washed ashore, creating a remarkable sight.
According to Thai News Agency, the water level in the Mun Bon Dam in Khon Buri District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, has been continuously decreasing, revealing long stretches of sandy beaches along the dam's shore. Millions of seashells have been washed ashore by the currents, accumulating in large piles across the beaches, creating what is being referred to as a "graveyard of millions of seashells." It is believed that the low water level in the dam has exposed these shells, which had been submerged for a long time, to the surface as they are washed ashore.
The Mun Bon Dam currently holds approximately 48.59 million cubic meters of water, or 34.46% of its total capacity of 141 million cubic meters. During the rainy season, the dam is not releasing water for agricultural purposes; it is only supplying water for tap water consumption and releasing water back into the river to maintain the natural river ecosystem.
