Kra Buri

The Kra Buri River flows from the Tenasserim Hills toward the Andaman Sea at the narrow neck of the Malay Peninsula. Near its mouth it widens into a tidal estuary bordered by extensive mangrove forests. Fresh water descending from the hills meets the tides among a network of muddy channels. The estuary opens westward toward the islands of the Mergui Archipelago, offering an approach to the land on either bank.
