Detailed information about the Chao Phraya River in Thailand

hello.

The Menam River, also called Zhaopiye River in Thailand, originated in the mountainous areas in northern Thailand, flowed to the flat areas in the south, formed the Chao Phraya River Delta, and finally flowed into Bangkok Bay, with a total length of 1,352 kilometers and a drainage area of 17, square kilometers. Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is located at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River. The Chao Phraya River is the largest river in Thailand, running through the whole territory of Thailand from north to south.

The great river of Indochina Peninsula is located in Thailand. Also known as Zhaopiye River. Known as "Venice of the East"

originated from Shan Plateau in the northwest of Thailand, and its upper source is formed by the confluence of two large rivers from north to south-Binhe and nan river. After the two rivers meet in that empty Shawang, they are called Chao phraya River.

The most eye-catching sights on the Chao Phraya River and its tributaries are the magnificent and glittering temples and pagodas. These colorful Buddhist buildings are mixed with high-rise buildings and residential buildings in the city, forming a strange and beautiful scenery.

Chao Phraya River is a famous river in Thailand. Its banks are wide, the water is fast, the wind is surging, the blue waves are rippling, and the dragon boat is hitting the water, bumping endlessly. Soon after going south, he gradually entered the small port and began a trip to Venice, the oriental water market that Thai people are proud of. It's a market, but there is nothing interesting at the beginning: the river is not wide, the water is muddy, weeds and even domestic garbage are rippling on the river, and the air is not fresh. There are low-rise houses on both sides of the river. When the boat crosses the bridge, you can even see the refugees living in the bridge hole-a piece of broken plastic paper can be regarded as a door to withstand the wind and rain. This kind of unsightly sight is not uncommon in Bangkok. At the street intersections in Bangkok, the "No Begging" ban sign has appeared more than once. Soon after the boat entered the branch river, mangoes, coconuts and pineapples were gradually seen on both sides of the river. I don't know when boats for two people began to float on the water. Some stopped under coconut trees and bananas, while others were rowing to the dragon boat for sightseeing to drum up business. Women either sell fruits and vegetables on their small sampans (guava, mango, pineapple, durian and rambutan are just a few of the many attractive fruits and vegetables), or sell fans, cool hats, or sell fish, seafood and even simple Thai snacks, while the bundles of beautiful tropical flowers (like orchids) and fragrant garlands on the boat are even more pleasant. If you can't speak, you will use gestures. It is said that this was the case in the water market hundreds of years ago. Near the village, you can also see some elderly women driving boats to set up stalls, with tea, fruit and even furniture and sundries. It is said that these people are just auxiliary scenes of tourist attractions organized by the government, and they just put on airs and don't sell things. On the Chao Phraya River, ships of different shapes and sizes are sailing in the river, and tourists can watch people's traditional way of life along the narrow waterway that branches off. In a larger village, everyone went ashore for sightseeing and shopping. There are shops all the way along the river in the village. They are some tall wooden houses facing the river, and the wooden pillars under the floor are firmly inserted into the river. The door of the shop is open by the river, and the door of the shop is the boat port. There are many tourist goods in the store, including gems, rings, jade articles and clothes. It is inevitable that the situation is unknown when you first travel to Thailand. There are not a few people who are eager to shop, and the store is really busy. After a two-hour journey on the water, the shops are connected by the river, and the ancient temples of villages standing along the coast lean out of the shade trees from time to time. The dark-skinned villagers bathe in the river, and groups of children also play in the water.
