The rivers of Thailand, both in ancient times and today, play the role of local roads.
Nan River
Nan is a river that is one of the sources of the country's largest river - Chao Phraya. The total length of the river bed is three hundred and ninety kilometers, and the total area of the catchment area is almost sixty thousand square kilometers.
The sources of Nan are located near the borders with Laos (in the territories of Nan province). Then the river in transit crosses the lands of three provinces - Uttaradit, Phitsanulok and Phichit, on the lands of Nakhonsavan Nan ends its journey, connecting with the waters of Ping. It is here that the Chao Phraya River begins. The main source of water replenishment is the Yom River. On a stretch of land in Phitsanulok province, the river is lined with boat houses.
As cities develop, the condition of the river deteriorates more and more. This is especially true of the bacteriological situation.
Ping River
The Ping channel passes through the territories of northwestern Thailand, being a right-side tributary of one of the largest rivers in the kingdom - Menam-Chao-Praya.
The length of the river channel is 569 kilometers, but if you take into account all the tributaries of the Ping, then you can count a full eight hundred. The total area of the river's catchment area is almost 34,000 square kilometers. But if we take into account the basin of its main feeding tributary - the Vang River - this number already exceeds 44,000 square kilometers.
The source of Ping is located in the Tanentaungi Ridge (northern Thailand). It flows into the waters of Menam Chao Phraya.
The river is maximum full-flowing in the period April-November, since it is during this period that the peak of monsoon rains falls. The Ping water is mainly used for irrigation of the rice fields in its valley.
Thachin river
Thachin is a river in Thailand, which is a large branch of the Chao Phraya River. The total area of its drainage basin is 13681 square kilometers.
Thachin stands out in a branch near the city of Chainat, almost parallel to the Chao Phraya channel. And so they walk side by side to the place where it flows into the waters of the Gulf of Thailand. On the bank of the river there is a rather popular tourist place - Rose Garden.
Moon River
Moon is one of the large enough waterways in Thailand, which is a tributary of the giant Mekong. The total length of the river flow is 673 kilometers.
The source of Mun is located in the national park of the country Khao Yai (near the city of Nakhon Ratchasima). Then it transits through the territories of the three provinces of Thailand's Isan region - Buriram, Surin and Sisaket. The confluence with the Mekong is located on the lands of the province of Ubon Ratchathani.
On the part of the river that runs through the Buriram territory, a festival takes place every fall.
