provinces of Thailand are Prachuap Khiri Khan and Chumphon. The river flows through Tha Sae into Mueang Chumphon districts and empties into the Gulf of Thailand at Ao Chumphon, where it is referred to as Pak Nam Chumphon, total length 33 km (20.5 mi). When the sea level rises and the fresh water in the river mixes with it, it becomes salty water, brackish water, and fresh water, making it suitable for raising barramundi. The area at the end of the river is a pier for many fishing boats.

Hence, it was named Tha Taphao which means "junk ship pier". This name also became the name of the former Mueang Chumphon district.

Currently, the course is used as a flood retention basin to prevent inundation in Chumphon and as a water tourism route.
