The stage will be set up right beside the river with some top musicians beating out a few tunes.

It will be a unique event right beside the Mekong river & not to be missed.

There is nowhere on the MEkong you can do something like this, because everywhere else involves a sandy river bank & track down to the river!

This is something special.
