Kra Buri River The Kra Buri River, the border between Thailand and Myanmar, is 60 km along from source to mouth, and 6 km wide. The river banks are natural and there are a number of islnad groups. The whole boundary area of Thailand and Myanmar has healthy mangrove forests, and has a high potential for river tourism, such as rafting and boat trips. In the future when the Lam Nam Kra Buri National Park boundary has been officially declared, cooperation between Thailand and Myanmar in organising tourism for the Kraburi River area can be enhanced. From the Isthmus of Thailand, following the river down to Ko Song or Victoria Point Island in Myanmar, arises a National Park between countries, which has the highest potential in tourism and conservation. This will lead to good relations and further opportunities for cooperation between Thailand and Myanmar.
