Pakha, freshwater dolphins of the Mekong

The center for protection and conservation of freshwater Dolphins is located on the border of Laos-Cambodia. The freshwater dolphins are called “Pakha” in Lao, and inhabit only this part of the Mekong River. Tourists can observe the endangered freshwater dolphins by chartering boats from either Ban Khon or Ban Veunkham (located at the southern tip of the islands)
