Description: |
|
The legendary Chao Phraya River is formed by four major
tributaries, the Ping, Wang, Yom and Nan Rivers which flow from
the northern watershed of Thailand to merge at Pak Nam Pho
estuary in Nakhon Sawan Province.
To its end at the Gulf
of Siam, it flows for 379 kilometers through the central plain
of Thailand the area that is the rice bowl of the Kingdom and
has been for centuries The name Chao Phraya is related to the
“Title of the Highest Thai Noble” in the Royal Administration.
That’s why we sometimes hear people call the river “The River of
Kings”.
The Thai people rely greatly on water
transportation, thus the main rivers and the intricate system of
canals became the most important trade routes for people and
they formed an important communication system that brought about
social integration and prosperity to the Kingdom.
Along
the river we can see people of different races who have
different religious beliefs and different cultural backgrounds
living together in peace. The Buddhist temples, Christian
churches, Muslim mosques and other spirit shrines standing right
next to each other are testimony to this harmony. |
