A Mekong River Tour – the Mekong from source to sea

The Mekong river is over 4,000kms long, its source lies in China and from here it flows through eastern Tibet crossing to Yunnan China before flowing through the tripoint of China, Myanmar and Laos and continuing south crossing perhaps the most infamous geopolitical tripoint of Myanmar, Laos and Thailand or the Golden Triangle as it is more widely known.

The Mekong river forms part of the border between Thailand and Laos, a distance of some 850kms creating stunning natural scenery along the way from the lush river valleys in the mountainous north to the incredible ‘Si Phan Don’ or 4,000 island mid-river archipelago of the southern reaches between Laos and Thailand. From here the Mekong river heads south into Cambodia meeting the Tonle Sap river at Phnom Penh, (from where you can sail north into the Tonle Sap lake and on to Siem Reap), and continues south into Vietnam creating the Mekong Delta as it heads to the south China sea. What a tour, what a journey, what a river!
