Original – The Mekong is a trans-boundary river in Southeast Asia. It is the world's twelfth longest river and the seventh longest in Asia. From the Tibetan Plateau the river runs through China's Yunnan Province, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. 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 and Southeast Asia.

• Comment It's risky cropping someone else's image. I would object if anyone cropped mine. Does the photographer agree? Too much cropped I think. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:00, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
• Comment – I agree with Charles about too much cropped, given the river is the primary subject. Bammesk (talk) 15:47, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
• Comment Agree with Charles, but there's certainly a tilt -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:57, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
