The Mekong River:

Lifeblood of Southeast Asia Gracefully winding its way through the heart of Southeast Asia, the Mekong River is more than just a geographic feature – it is a vital artery that has shaped the culture, economy, and landscapes of the region for centuries.

Originating high in the Tibetan Plateau, this mighty river flows for over 4,900 kilometers, traversing China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam before emptying into the South China Sea.

For the people living along its banks, the Mekong is not just a river, but a way of life. - https://thailandfocusguide.com/blog/discover-mekong-river-laos-thailand/?unique_id_2o5fajrm
