The Mekong is a trans-boundary river in Southeast Asia. It is the world's 12th-longest river and the 7th-longest in Asia. Its estimated length is 4,350 km (2,703 mi), and it drains an area of 795,000 km2 (307,000 sq mi), discharging 475 km3 (114 cu mi) of water annually.
From the Tibetan Plateau the river runs through China's Yunnan Province, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. In 1995, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam established the Mekong River Commission to assist in the management and coordinated use of the Mekong's resources. In 1996 China and Myanmar became "dialogue partners" of the MRC and the six countries now work together within a cooperative framework.
The extreme seasonal variations in flow and the presence of rapids and waterfalls in the Mekong make navigation difficult. Even so, the river is a major trade route between western China.

Top Golden Triangle Hotel Reviews

Athita The Hidden Court Chiang Saen

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were lovely and the hotel is traditional Lanna style - beautiful!"

Maekhong Delta Boutique Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"I chose this property because they advertised they had an onsite restaurant and I could get meals. The restaurant was closed and there are limited food options in the area around the hotel. Staff professed to ‘not understand’ English when I tried to find out where I could get breakfast or a ride to town (about a 30 minute walk) - GRAB was non existent!"

Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort

8/10 Good

"The staff and stay was fantastic! The elephants seemed a bit bored and it felt like they needed more time spent or less…I’m not sure. For the price the stay and space was exquisite. I’m not sure what to feel about the elephants and the treatment of them."
