Discover more along the Mekong River
More than just a river, the Mekong has been Indochina’s vital lifeblood for centuries. As the seventh longest river in the world, the Mekong begins from its headwaters in the Tibetan Plateau to the South China Sea. The banks of the river carry stories of both ancient and modern life, and the people who live along its shores still rely on it for their livelihood.
Explore the mighty Mekong and immerse yourself in the waterway’s unique culture, heritage and activities at Secret Retreats located nearby or on the banks of Mekong River in Thailand and Laos.
