Cambodian Mekong river
Traveling upriver from the delta, these early explorers would have seen the Cambodian Mekong as it is today, a broad slow-flowing river, easily accessible in their steam-powered vessels. However, when they reached the town of Kratie everything changed, as just to the north, the village of Kompi marks the start of the Sambor rapids, and the Mekong becomes swift, rocky and dangerous.
