On old maps the river is named as Menam or Mae Nam, the Thai word for river. The name Chao Phraya is a Thai feudal title, which can be translated as General. In the English-language media in Thailand the name is often translated as River of Kings.
The cities along the Chao Phraya are Nakhon Sawan, Uthai Thani, Chainat, Singburi, Ang Thong, Ayutthaya, Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, Bangkok and Samut Prakan, listed from north to south. These cities are among the most historically significant and densely populated settlements of Thailand precisely because of their access to the waterway. That is why people prefer to buy Thailand property here, near the water, river.
