The Mekong River is 4,900 kilometers long, flowing through the borders of six countries in Asia. Its waters have shaped the history and culture of Southeast Asia for thousands of years.
You’ll find real life along the banks of the Mekong: beautiful temples, mysterious caves, and quiet towns are all visible to travelers cruising along the river. That’s why we’ve featured this four-country tour that follows the Mekong River in Southeast Asia, starting in Thailand and ending where the Mekong flows into the South China Sea from Vietnam.
Chiang Rai, Thailand, bordered by mountains to the west and the Kok River (a tributary of the Mekong River) to the north, the Thai city of Chiang Rai makes a great jumping-off point for travelers traveling along a mighty river, but travelers should still spend a few days exploring this provincial city.
Modern Thai artists have captivated the people of Chiang Rai with their visually stunning temples, including the Baan Dam "Black House" filled with experimental taxidermy. The gleaming white Wat Rong Khun and the colorful Wat Huai Sai Khao.
After enjoying a stroll through the night markets and a day trip to the former Mekong capital of Chiang Khan or the Yunnan mountain town of Mae Salong, board a bus to the Lao border crossing at Chiang Khong/Huay Sai, a popular departure point for the slow boats that travel. On to the former capital of Luang Prabang, our next stop. For a look at the cruise options along this route, read this 14-day itinerary through Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia, spending most of the time aboard a luxury cruise ship on the Mekong River.
Luang Prabang, Laos Luang Prabang would be nothing without the Mekong. The former Royal Palace, now the National Museum of Laos, sits on the banks of the Mekong River, ideal for the king to travel in and out of state by royal boat.
The city’s sights and activities still recall the glory of Luang Prabang, the seat of the royal family – the 450-year-old Xiengthong Temple retains the ornate gold splendor of its origins as a state temple. And monks still take alms from beggars on the city’s streets in a graceful ritual called Tak Bat.
From Luang Prabang, you can take a boat to riverside craft villages where rice wine and paper are traditionally made. And to Pak Ou to visit the sacred caves of Tham Ting and Tham Phum, where hundreds of Buddha statues testify to centuries-old local beliefs.
