Description: |

The Mae Klong, sometimes spelled Mae Khlong or Meklong, is a
river in western Thailand. The river begins at the confluence of
the Khwae Noi or Khwae Sai Yok and the Khwae Yai River or Khwae
Si Sawat in Kanchanaburi, passes Ratchaburi Province and empties
into the Gulf of Thailand in Samut Songkhram Province.
In
the 1960s the upper stretch of the river to the town of
Kanchanaburi was renamed Khwae Yai, as the famous Bridge on the
River Kwai spanned the Mae Klong and not the Khwae (Kwai) river.
However the actual origin of the river is in the Tenasserim
Hills, around the Khuean Srinagarindra National Park area in the
north of Kanchanaburi Province.
An early portion of Khwae
Yai River in Umphang District, Tak Province is also called Klong
River. It becomes known as Khwae Yai River when it flows into
Kanchanaburi Province.
It feeds the giant Umphang Thee
Lor Sue Waterfall in its upper reaches. |
