Thailand is part of the Indochinese Peninsula to the Isthmus of Kra, which marks the transition to the Malay Peninsula. The country extends about 805 km from east to west and 1,770 km from north to south.
In the center, there is a vast plain, the alluvial plain of the Chao Phraya River, the largest river of Thailand. This is the most dense region at the population and the richest agricultural perspective.
Bangkok is located near the fertile delta of the Menam Chao Phraya (Mè Nam - แม่ น้ำ้้ - literally mother-water (water of life mother), mean or river in Thai). All around the basin totaled mountain ranges. Massive bordering Burma border are the highest, peaking at 2595 m Doi Inthanon summit.
