Bueng Boraphet Lake

Bueng Boraphet is a broad freshwater wetland east of Nakhon Sawan, near the meeting of the Ping and Nan rivers. Open water and marshes are surrounded by floodplains, and streams carry water into the lake from the east. Lotus and other aquatic plants grow among its shallows, sheltering fish and waterbirds. Seasonal changes in water level reshape the margins of the wetland, which lies within the great Chao Phraya river basin.
