Description: |
|
The Tapi (or Tapee) river is the longest river in southern
Thailand. The river originates at the Khao Luang mountain in
Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, and has a wide estuary into the
Gulf of Thailand at Bandon Bay near the town of Surat Thani. It
has a length of 230 kilometres (140 mi).
The river drains an
area of 5,460 square kilometres (2,110 sq mi) and in 1997 had a
yearly discharge of 135.4 cubic metres per second (4,780 cu
ft/s) or 4.3 cubic kilometres (3,500,000 acre·ft) per year. The
Phum Duang River (or Khiri Rat River), which drains another
6,125 square kilometres (2,365 sq mi) west of the Tapi
watershed, joins the estuary 15 kilometres (9 mi) west of Surat
Thani in Amphoe Phunphin. |
