Travel to the Greater Mekong Region

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

The Greater Mekong Region is emerging as one of the world’s most famous travel destinations. The region has many features that make it very attractive to tourists. These include unspoiled natural beauty and magnificent attractions. A variety of ethnic peoples with unique languages and customs together with a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Laos make the region most attractive to tourists, particularly since parts of the region have been inaccessible for years.

The Mekong River flows from the Himalayan Mountains in China through Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. These five countries form the Greater Mekong Region.

As the largest country in the region, Thailand is more than just a gateway – often referred to as the most exotic country in Southeast Asia. A visit to the Grand Palace in Bangkok for sure. Trips to a floating market or to the Bridge on the River Kwai. From pristine beaches in the Southern Islands to the Northern mountains with its waterfalls, elephants bathing in mountain streams, and Hill Tribe villages.

Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar – Four small countries neighboring Thailand. Each opens a different world of exploration. Cambodia – the highlight is visiting Angkor Wat, an architectural masterpiece constructed in the jungle in the early 12th century. Vietnam – is a varied country, offering beaches, mountains and hundreds of years of history from the ancient Cham Towers to remnants from the Vietnam War. Laos – savor the crafts, culture and hospitality of Laos with a river trip, visits to ancient temples, gorgeous palaces, and traditional villages. Myanmar – journey the length of this enchanting land on the mighty Ayeyarwady River, and discover the treasures of over two millennia of civilisation including exquisite Buddhist art and magnificent temple architecture.
