Did you know there’s a lake in Cambodia that breathes with the seasons—expanding and shrinking like a living creature?

Tonle Sap Lake, the beating heart of the Mekong River system, is one of the most productive freshwater ecosystems in the world. It nourishes over three million people and provides more than 75% of Cambodia’s inland fish catch—supplying nearly 60% of the nation’s protein.

Famed for its astonishing biodiversity and staggering fish yield, Tonle Sap ranks among the top four freshwater fisheries globally, highlighting its critical role in Cambodia’s ecology and economy.

But this lake is more than statistics—it’s a way of life. A visit to Tonle Sap is a journey into floating villages, time-honoured fishing traditions, and lush wetlands teeming with life.
Come experience Cambodia through the pulse of its most extraordinary lake

Did you know the Mekong River is crucial to Laos and is often referred to as 'The Sea of Laos’?
In Laos, where mountains meet riverbanks, the Mekong flows like a vein through the country—powering its economy, feeding its people, and connecting it to the wider region.

From fertile farmlands to daily fish markets, the river supports agriculture and fishing—two of Laos’ most essential industries. Fresh fish from the Mekong is more than food; it runs deep in the flavours of Lao cuisine.

But the river does more than sustain life—it opens doors. Acting as a natural trade route, it links Laos to neighbouring Southeast Asian markets despite its lack of coastline.

For travellers, the Mekong is a winding invitation—offering breathtaking landscapes, riverside villages, and deep cultural immersion.

More than just water, the Mekong is movement, memory, and connection—for Laos and beyond.
