The Wat Ta Yom River (Thai: แคววัดตายม) is a tributary of the Nan River in Thailand.

Geography

This river of many names originates in the mountains of the Noen Maprang District of Phitsanulok Province where it is referred to as the Chomphu River (Thai: คลองชมภู).[1] It then flows through the Wang Thong District where it is referred to as the Tha Muen Ram River (Thai: แควน้ำท่าหมื่นราม),[2] then flows through the Bang Krathum District, and through Wat Ta Yom, where it is referred to as the Wat Ta Yom River.[1] It discharges into the Nan River in Phichit via the Tha Luang Canal (Thai: คลองท่าหลวง) at 16°26′27″N 100°21′21″E / 16.44083°N 100.35583°E / 16.44083; 100.35583.

Etymology

All of the above names of the river derive from the names of places through which the river flows or to which it leads. The river does not appear to have a geographically independent name of its own.
