Mekong River Holidays


asia
One of the world’s great rivers, the mighty Mekong snakes from Lao’s northern border with Thailand, through Luang Prabang and Vientiane, before once again following the country’s west border to the far south. This waterway is integral to the lives of many Laotians and a river cruise is a great way to see a different side of life in Laos.

Whether you choose a two day journey, travelling along the river from Thailand and stopping in Pakbeng, a sunset cruise or simply enjoy one of the many riverside terraces, the Mekong is likely to play a part of any trip to Laos.
