Traveling Down the Mekong

The Mekong River is the longest river in Southeast Asia and supports the lives of 70 million people from Tibet to Vietnam. Our reporters undertook the journey to tell their stories in blog posts, video diaries and images.

Why this Project?


As world leaders prepare for key climate talks in Copenhagen, we invite you to travel with RFA down the least developed of the world's major rivers—the Mekong: fragile, beautiful, and threatened as never before.
