Although the Mekong runs down Thailand’s far eastern border, the influence of the river’s basin reaches across nearly half the country. The east of Thailand is characterized by a complex network of the Mekong’s tributaries. These waterways are the foundation of life for many different ecosystems; from extensive rice fields to large pockets of tropical rainforest.
