Let's ChatVisa requirements for countries along the Mekong River—such as Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia—vary depending on your nationality and length of stay. Thailand offers visa-free entry for many travelers, while Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia typically require a tourist visa, though options like e-visas or visa on arrival make the process straightforward. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, check with your country's foreign affairs office or the U.S. Department of State website.
Throughout most of the countries along the Mekong River, tipping is generally appreciated, especially in the tourism and service industries. It’s common to leave a small percentage of the bill at restaurants if service isn’t included. For personal drivers and local guides, a modest daily tip is considered a kind and respectful gesture for good service.
While you will find that the more developed areas and cities have decent internet and accessible cyber cafes, there is some censorship that will prevent you from accessing certain sites, and the rural areas probably won't have the internet at all
You probably will be out of range for most of your trip, but if you are in a big city and would like to use your phone, the easiest way to do so is to buy a local SIM chip that you can find at any airport and pre-pay for data and minutes
Power is 220v but most 110v devices can handle this as well. Outlets are either A (two-flat prongs), C (two round prongs) or G (three flat prongs in a triangle). Make sure to have a plug adapter for these types just in case
The facilities on boats and hotels are generally western style bowl toilets, but on any day excursions, you might come across squat toilets. Make sure that you bring your own toilet paper and throw it into the wastebasket rather than the bowl before flushing
