Thailand
Physical Features
There are three main features in Thailand’s terrain: high mountains, a central plain, and an upland plateau. Much of northern Thailand is covered in mountains which extend along the Myanmar border to the Malay Peninsula. The central plain is a lowland are drained by the Chao Phraya River and its tributaries. This is the country’s principal water systems, which feed into the delta at the head of the Bay of Bangkok. The northeastern part of the country consists of the Khorat Plateau. This region is full of rolling low hills and shallow lakes, which drains into the Mekong through the Mun River. The Mekong system empties in the South China Sea.
