It is the world's 12th-longest river and the 7th-longest in Asia. Its estimated length is 4,350 km (2,703 mi), and it drains an area of 795,000 km2 (307,000 sq mi), discharging 475 km3 (114 cu mi) of water annually. From the Tibetan Plateau the river runs through China's Yunnan Province, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. In 1995, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam established the Mekong River Commission to assist in the management and coordinated use of the Mekong's resources. In 1996 China and Myanmar became "dialogue partners" of the MRC and the six countries now work together within a cooperative framework. The extreme seasonal variations in flow and the presence of rapids and waterfalls in the Mekong make navigation difficult. Even so, the river is a major trade route between western China. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6046354/4f5234ca-fe1c-4133-bdff-486aff5bec12.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Chiang Saen ![Blue and White](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6046727/fffed074-4352-4080-9efd-a099768688ab.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Phetchabun ![On top of the northern Thailand. #lifeatexpedia](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6051949/da118783-7428-46df-8763-04575d30ee0b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Fang ![Ban Rak Thai Mae Hong Son in thailand](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6052218/448fd045-39e9-44be-ad7c-7a38c1f10762.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Pai ![Golden triangle ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248634335870992/783b704c-a0b1-4fd6-914a-f4e622672ebc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Sop Ruak ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save on select hotels when you book in the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
