 Chao Phraya River review
Address The Chao Phraya is a major river in Thailand. It begins at the confluence of the Ping and Nan river at Nakhon Sawan in Nakhon Sawan province. The Chao Phraya runs from north to south for 372 km from the central plains to Bangkok and the Gulf of Thailand. However in Chainat the river splits into the main river course and the Tha Chin river, which then flows parallel to the main river and exits to Gulf of Thailand. In the low alluvial plain which begins below the Chainat dam many small canals (khlong) split off from the main river, used for the irrigation of the rice paddies. On old maps the river is named as Menam or Mae Nam, the Thai word for river. The name Chao Phraya is also a Thai feudal title, which can be translated as General, often translated as River of Kings. You can go on the tourist boat along the river or rent a longtailboat for a tour through the Khlongs. It's interesting to see authentic Thai houses on stilts and the contrary life on the other side of the river. Description:
