The Maenam Noi ( Thai: แม่น้ำ น้อย, pronunciation: mɛ ː ná ː ː j m.nɔ. ) Is a river in the central region of Thailand.

The Maenam Noi is about 100 kilometers long. It branches about 5 km south of Chainat from the Chao Phraya River - Thailand's largest river - from. During the entire length of the Noi runs parallel to the Chao Phrayxa at a distance of 2-11 km. He received, however, only water from the Chao Phraya, if this is deeper than 2.5 meters.

The Maenam Noi flows through the central plains of Thailand, where it is very difficult due to lack of slope to determine the course of the river and to identify tributaries or channels. The country is criss- crossed by wide and narrow rivers, streams and natural and man-made channels, on whose shores the settlements of the rice farmers are, as the water runs presented until not too long ago the only way of transportation dar. In over the last centuries the running of all waters has changed in the area of ​​influence of the Menam Noi, so that it is impossible to put it out on historic maps. Another difficulty results from the fact that the Thais tend to give sections of rivers or canals own name.

Between Singburi and Ang Thong, the Chao Phraya divides again: this Creek - Kratum Phrong - is a deep channel through which water flows all year. After a few kilometers it flows into the Maenam Noi. Another connection between the Maenam Noi and the Chao Phraya near Ang Thong is called Khlong Saladaeng. When Sena Noi (now Bang Sai, Ayutthaya province ) the Maenam Noi combined with its tributaries back to the Chao Phraya River.
