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. |
