The longest river in South East Asia is the Mekong River and exploring it will be one of the best things you can do when you are in one of the countries that it flows through.
When to visit this river?
Regardless of the time of the year you visit the river, it’s full of life. But from September to December (during the wet season), you’ll surely have to face flooding and sometimes, the experience can be a little awful.
Things to do
Things to do on the river depends on the location that you choose. Tubing is a popular thing among the people, and some locations also allow you to get exposed to a number of floating markets.
How to have a cruise on it?
The best way to explore everything about the river is by getting a Mekong River cruise arranged. There are agents such as Mekong Kingdoms who have been doing a trusted job throughout.
Exploring the local life
People living close to this river basically earn from it. They engage in fishing and cultivations (paddy and fruits) and lead very simple lives amidst many difficulties.
