Tonle Sekong River
The Tonle Sekong River is a waterway in Cambodia and forms the southern main branch of the Mekong Delta system. It flows through low-lying plains and merges with other major rivers before reaching the Gulf of Thailand.
The river formed through natural geological processes as part of the Mekong River system. It has long served as a vital route for trade and fishing throughout the region.
The best time to explore is during the dry season when water levels are more stable and boat trips easier to arrange. Villages and landing points along the river are generally accessible to visitors but require local guidance for navigation.
The river spreads into a complex network of channels and smaller waterways that create seasonal flooding zones. These dynamic changes shape how local communities live and directly affect fishing and farming.
