From our trip around the Thailand. February 2001. The Chao Phraya (Thai: แม่น้ำเจ้าพระยา) is a major river in Thailand, with its low alluvial river plain marking the mainland of the country. The Chao Phraya begins at the confluence of the Ping and Nan river at Nakhon Sawan (also called Pak Nam Pho) in the Nakhon Sawan province. It then flows from north to south for 372 km from the central plains to Bangkok and the Gulf of Thailand. In Chainat, the river splits into the main river course and the Tha Chin river, which then flows parallel to the main river and exits to Gulf of Thailand the about 35 km west of Bangkok in Samut Sakhon. In the low alluvial plain which begins below the Chainat dam, many small canals (khlong) split off from the main river. The khlong are used for the irrigation of the region's rice paddies. The Tha Chin River is the major distributary of the Chao Phraya River. The expanse of the Chao Phraya and Tha Chin Rivers and their distributaries, starting at the point at which the distributaries diverge, together with the land amid the triangle formed by the outermost and innermost distributary, form the Chao Phraya Delta. The many distributaries of the Chao Phraya delta are interconnected by canals that serve both for irrigation and for transportation.

To get to Ben Tre, we have to cross one of the many distributaries of the Mekong River. So here is a quick video of us on the ferry along with the land vehicles.

This video displays juvenile Chum salmon, sticklebacks, and age 1+ Coho salmon in their native habitat along the shores of the Sylopash Slough, a remnant distributary channel to the Dosewallips River on the Western edge of Hood Canal in Puget Sound. This video was captured March 15, 2004. For more information visit: www.wildfishconservancy.org
