The Moei River ((タイ語:แม่น้ำเมย), , ) is a tributary of the Salween River. Unlike most rivers in Thailand the Moei River flows north in a northwest direction. It originates in Phop Phra district, Tak Province, flowing then from South to North across Mae Sot, Mae Ramat and Tha Song Yang districts, finally entering the Salween River within the limits of Sop Moei district of Mae Hong Son Province. The river is long. The Yuam River joins its left bank only before its confluence with the Salween. Many fish species inhabit its waters, including the Giant river catfish.〔(Breeding and nursing of Asiatic shovelnose catfish, Aorichthys seenghala (Sykes, 1841). (by W. Ratanatrivong, N. Anurakchanachai and P. Rungpiboonsophit) )〕 ==International border== The Moei River forms the natural border line between Thailand and Burma. The river banks often the scenario of clashes between the Tatmadaw and Karen militias.〔(Burma Army shells from Thai side of the border to attack Karen fighters )〕 Often Karen people cross the river either in order to enter Thailand as refugees or to go back to Burma.〔(Burmese family crossing Moei River )〕 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「Moei River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
