    Rivers in northern thailand


    North Thailand is bound by the Salween River in the west and the
    Mekong in the east. The basins of rivers Ping, Wang, Yom, and Nan, all
    tributaries of the Chao Phraya River, in the central part run from north
    to south and are mostly very wide.

    River wildlife
    Catfish and stingrays,were found in the Mae Klong river and Mekong
    river, and the size of the two wildlife, have broken the world record .
    This ecoregion consists of the freshwater swamp forests in the lowland
    alluvial plains of the Chao Phraya River in central Thailand and extends
    north up the valleys of its major tributaries, the River Ping and River
    Nan. It is roughly 400 km north to south and, at its widest, about 180
    km from east to west.

    River formation
    A river is a natural stream of freshwater
    with significant volume when compared to
    the volume of its smaller tributaries.
    Rivers are normally the main channels or
    largest tributaries of drainage systems.
    Typical rivers begin with a flow from
    headwater areas made up of small
    tributaries, such as springs. They then
    travel in paths at various speeds; finally,
    they discharge into desert basins, into
    major lakes, or most likely, into oceans.
