Mekong Atlas is an independent travel guide to Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, built around one simple rule: every price, timetable and border rule carries the date it was last checked. Nothing here is undated, so you can always see how fresh a figure is before you plan around it — and when we cannot verify something, we say so rather than guess.
The site is written and maintained by Anh Nguyen, a Vietnamese travel writer based between Ho Chi Minh City and Berlin. Anh has spent twelve years travelling overland through Southeast Asia — by Reunification Express sleeper, Laos–China Railway, Mekong slow boat and more tuk-tuks than is reasonable — and writes transit-first guides for independent travellers from Europe, Japan and the Americas.
Editorial standards. Trips are self-funded; we accept no sponsored placements, press trips or affiliate pressure on recommendations. Prices and schedules are verified at the date stated on each page and rechecked when we update it. When something has changed since we last checked, we say so rather than guess.
