Map of Gulf of Thailand

Gulf of Thailand, also Gulf of Siam, inlet of the South China Sea, lying between the Malay Peninsula on the west and the south-eastern Asian mainland on the north and east. It is bounded mainly by Thailand, but also by Cambodia and Vietnam. At its northern head the gulf receives the Chao Phraya River. Bangkok, the gulf's leading port, is upstream from the mouth of this river. The wide gulf is some 360 km (225 mi) across at its mouth, and is less than 200 m (650 ft) deep throughout.
