Bang Krathum, Bang Krathum - Geography

Geography

Bang Krathum's topography consists of flat, fertile lowlands. Clockwise from the north, the subdistrict is bordered by Wang Nam Khu (of Amphoe Mueang Phitsanulok), Tha Tan, Nakhon Pa Mak, Phai Lom, Ta Fo (of Amphoe Mueang Phichit in Phichit Province), Sanam Khli, Khok Salut and Ban Rai. Bang Krathum lies within the Nan Basin, which is part of the Chao Phraya Watershed. The town of Ban Bang Krathum is situated on the tambon's chief watercourse, a canal which winds through farms heading northeast to Ban Bang Kranoi in Nakhon Pa Mak, where it joins the Wang Thong River. The canal splits once between Ban Bang Krathum and Ban Bang Krathum, where a smaller branch leads due north to Ban Bueng Lam in Nakhon Pa Mak.

Famous quotes containing the word geography:

    Ktaadn, near which we were to pass the next day, is said to mean “Highest Land.” So much geography is there in their names.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.
    Derek Wall (b. 1965)

    Where the heart is, there the muses, there the gods sojourn, and not in any geography of fame. Massachusetts, Connecticut River, and Boston Bay, you think paltry places, and the ear loves names of foreign and classic topography. But here we are; and, if we tarry a little, we may come to learn that here is best. See to it, only, that thyself is here;—and art and nature, hope and fate, friends, angels, and the Supreme Being, shall not absent from the chamber where thou sittest.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
