Nakhon Sawan is the north province where the Ping, Wang, Yom and Nan rivers unite to form the Choa Phraya River which flows southwards to dissect Bangkok before entering the Gulf of Thailand.
The Chao Phraya River largely irrigates the Central Plain, one of the world's major rice and fruit-growing areas, and sustains an intricate network of canals that irrigate bountiful orchards and market gardens; host vibrant floating markets; and support a unique, waterborne way of life.

Chao Phraya River and klongs (canals) have always been vital forms of communication and 19th century Bangkok was laced with canals, giving the capital the designation "Venice of the East".
