Phi Pan Nam Mountains

Phi Pan Nam Mountains

The Phi Pan Nam Mountains ( Thai : ทิว เขา ผี ปัน น้ำ "Mountains of the spirits that distribute the water", also "The spirit of a thousand waters") is a mountain system in Thailand .

The delimitation of the Phi Pan Nam Mountains is quite difficult. One could say that it is a collection of mountain ranges and watersheds that stretch between the Mae Nam Wang , Mae Nam Yom and Mae Nam Nan rivers. They feed water to the south into the Mae Nam Chao Phraya and to the north into the Mekong .

The main rivers that arise in the Phi Pan Nam Mountains are Mae Nam Yom , Mae Nam Ing and Mae Nam Wang .
