The Chi River (Thai: แม่น้ำชี) is the longest river in Thailand; it extends 765 km, but carries less water than the second longest river, the Mun. In the Isan dialect of this region, and also in the adjacent language Lao, the name of the river is actually pronounced "Nam See" (sii) but the transliteration Chi reflects Bangkok-Thai.
