:''Not to be confused with Cardamom Hills in Tamil Nadu, India. For other uses, see Cardamom (disambiguation).'' The Krâvanh Mountains, literally the "Cardamom Mountains" ((クメール語:ជួរភ្នំក្រវាញ), ''Chuor Phnom Krâvanh''; (タイ語:ทิวเขาบรรทัด), ''Thio Khao Banthat'', (:tʰiw kʰǎw ban.tʰát)), is a mountain range in the south west of Cambodia and Eastern Thailand. The silhouette of the Cardamom Mountains appears in the provincial seal of Trat Province in Thailand.〔(Seals of The Provinces of Thailand )〕 ==Location and description== The mountain range extends along a southeast-northwest axis from Koh Kong Province on the Gulf of Thailand to the Veal Veang District in Pursat Province, and is extended to the southeast by the Dâmrei (Elephant) Mountains.〔(Cardamom and Elephant Mountains (Cambodia) )〕 The northwestern end of the range in Chanthaburi Province, Thailand, appears also as the 'Soi Dao Mountains' (''Khao Soi Dao'') and as 'Chanthaburi Range' in some maps. Dense tropical rain forest prevails on the wet western slopes which annually receive from 150 to 200 inches (3,800–5,000 mm) of rainfall. By contrast only 40 to 60 inches (1,000 to 1,500 mm) fall in places like Kirirom National Park on the wooded eastern slopes in the rain shadow facing the interior Cambodian plain. On the eastern slopes cardamom and pepper are still grown commercially. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cardamom Mountains」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
