Map of Thailand

Thailand covers a total area of 513,120 sq. km in the Indo-Chinese Peninsula. The country has a varied landscape ranging from low mountains to fertile plains to sandy beaches.

As observed on the physical map of Thailand above, fold mountains dominate the country’s landscape to the north and west. These mountains extend southward (in a narrow strip) along the Burma border to the northern edges of Malaysia. As marked on the map by an upright yellow triangle, the highest point of the country is Doi Inthanon whose summit peaks at 8,451 ft. (2,576 m).

To the northeast is the Khorat Plateau. It is a region of rolling low hills and small, shallow lakes, drains into the Mekong River system on its border with Laos.

The Chao Phraya River basin lies in the centre of the country. The Chao Phraya River, which flows for 231 miles (372 km), is home to some of the most historically significant and densely populated settlements of Thailand; the river and its tributaries drain into a delta south of Bangkok. The southeast represents the maritime corner of the central region.

Along Thailand’s southern peninsula (Isthmus of Kra) the land fades into mangrove swamps. Numerous islands are found off the coastline, with Phuket being the most famous.

The lowest point of the country is the Gulf of Thailand (0 m).
