Chao Phraya River.

Rivers and canals, much less sensitive to the existence of all life. Water consumption and agricultural use in the transportation. It is also strategically important in the Thai capital Bangkok, which is present in the many canals dug up because of this reason. Many of the canal, we have been called. "Venice of East" canal and these are the origin of the Chao Phraya River.    Chao Phraya River, the River Ping and Nan rivers converge into the Mae Nam Pho. In front of the dam in the town of Nakhon Sawan and then see the difference between the river and clear the Nan River is reddish in color. The Ping River is greenish. The flow then gradually converge together as the country's major rivers flowing through the provinces in the central region until Bangkok And then into the Gulf of Thailand, Mae Nam, Samut Prakarn Province. There are approximately 370 km river is part of the current line. Dig a canal that cuts the old river. Because so many winding streams. The canal is short. To make travel more convenient. The canal is a three week period.    First excavated during the reign of King Phra Chai. Bangkok Noi canal dug from the ditch in front of Bangkok Noi Railway Station. In front of Wat Arun. To facilitate trade in those days to catch up with Portugal and China.  
  The second excavation was emperor. Bangkok Noi canal on the line. Bangkok Noi canal between the river into the canal at Soi Wat Suwan with the measured delay.    Excavation for the third time in the reign of King Prasat Thong of Wat Temple Complex is connected to the mouth of canals (the river), two banks of the Chao Phraya I have lots of interesting places. We may have to cruise along the river and admire the traditional way of life shaped by people's houses and communities. Attitude and the atmosphere cool. However, it is the impression I just went through a period of time. If we know the source. The importance of these things better.
