More about Nakhon Sawan
Geography
Nakhon Sawan is about 250 kilometres (160 mi) north of Bangkok, and marks the point of confluence of two of Thailand's major rivers, the Ping and the Nan. These converge in Nakhon Sawan to form the Chao Phraya which flows south to Bangkok and out into the Gulf of Thailand. The city's surroundings are mostly flat, but in the city itself a hill rises about 110 metres (360 ft) above the plain.
Bueng Boraphet, east of Nakhon Sawan, is Thailand's biggest freshwater swamp.
