Abstract

The upper gulf of Thailand is an area that is considerably affected from eroded sediments from rivers and coasts. This research, the data during 2004-2005 from 10 times survey was investigated, 2 times in the upper gulf of Thailand, 2 times from Chao Phraya-Sri Racha cruise and 6 times Bangpakong-Sri Racha cruise. Total suspended solid (TSS) at the middle of the upper gulf of Thailand had the maximum less than 0.01 g/l. TSS at the surface water near the shore had a linear relation to turbidity (TB) as TSS = 0.0024 TB ± 0.0012, r2=0.6. The TSS would be increased when it was near shore. During dry season, the seawater was well-mixed and not affected by the water from the land. TSS was about 0.02-0.06 g/l. During rainy season, the suspended particle is enlarged in river. The TSS at Chao Phraya and Bangpakong river mouth had nearly the same quantity about 0.20-0.02 g/l. TSS would be decreasing while far off the shore.
