Bend in the Mekong River

Bend in the Mekong River
The Mekong River forms much of the border between Thailand and Laos. For years, commercial activity on the river was overshadowed by war, but since the 1991 peace accord in Cambodia, trade has resumed between capitalist Thailand and Communist Laos. A bridge built in 1994 spanning the Mekong is the first such structure between the two countries.
