The River Mekong is the world's 12th-longest river. From its Himalayan source on the Tibetan plateau, it flows some 4,350 km (2,703 miles) through China's Yunnan province, Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, finally draining in the South China Sea. The recent construction of hydroelectric dams on the river and its tributaries has reduced the water flow dramatically during the dry season in Southeast Asia.<br/><br/> This illustration was one of dozens produced by Louis Delaporte during a two-year venture (1866-68) with the Mekong Exploration Commission, which was sponsored by the French Ministry of the Navy, the intention of which was to lay the groundwork for the expansion of French colonies in Indochina.
Ko Adang is around 30 sq km (12 sq miles) in area, and is almost completely covered in tropical rain forest. The island is famous for its clear waters, fine quartz beaches and superb coral reefs, the latter providing a habitat for shoals of brightly-colored fish and a host of other marine creatures.<br/><br/> The interior of Ko Adang is also beautifully pristine, with several waterfalls cascading down from the central heights (703 m3t34w or 2,300 ft), most notably Nam Tok Chon Salat.<br/><br/> Ko Tarutao Marine National Park consists of 51 islands in two main groups scattered across the Andaman Sea in southernmost Thailand. Just seven of the islands are of any size, including Ko Tarutao in the east, and Ko Adang-Ko Rawi to the west. Just 5 miles (8km) to the south lies the marine frontier with Malaysia’s celebrated Langkawi Archipelago.<br/><br/> Tarutao is world-famous for its pristine diving sites, rich marine life and outstanding natural beauty. Covering a broad area of 575 sq miles (1490 sq km), Tarutao became Thailand’s second national marine park in 1974. Because of the location of the islands so far out to sea, the park is only safely accessible during the northeast monsoon between November and April.

Cheow Lan Lake was created by the construction of Rajjabrapha Dam in 1982, and is also known as Rajjabrapha Lake. Karst outcrops isolated from the mainland by the flooding rise from the waters of the lake to almost 1,000 m (3,000 feet) in height – that is, about three times the height of similar karst outcrops at Phang Nga Bay. Gibbons and eagles have access to these isolated peaks, but they are inaccessible to all but the most intrepid of climbers and provide a wonderful haven for rare wildlife.<br/><br/> Khao Sok National Park forms the largest and most dramatic tract of virgin forest in southern Thailand. This 160 million year old rainforest is some of the oldest in the world. The climate in the area has been relatively unaffected by past ice ages, since the landmass is relatively small and there are seas on both sides.<br/><br/> Elephants, tigers, bears, boars, tapirs gibbons and monkeys live in the park, along with more than 300 species of birds, including rare hornbills and argus pheasants. Sightings of the larger animals are usually at night, and animal tracks are regularly seen along the park’s many marked trails.<br/><br/> The park also contains a wide range of flora, including the rare Rafflesia, the largest flower in the world which can measure 80 cm (31 inches) across.
