The Kong River, also known as the Sekong River (Vietnamese: Sông Sê Kông, Khmer: ទន្លេកុង), is a river in Southeast Asia and an important tributary of the Mekong River.[1]
Course
[edit]The river originates in Huế in Central Vietnam and flows 480 kilometres (300 mi) through southern Laos and northeastern Cambodia. It joins the Tonlé San near the Stung Treng town of Cambodia, just 5 miles upstream from the confluence of the Tonlé San and the Mekong.
Part of its course forms the international boundary between Laos and Cambodia.
