Sepon River

The Sepon River belongs to the Hướng Hóa district of Vietnam and Savannakhet Province of Laos.

Therefore, it is a main artery for the two nearby urban areas (the town of Lao Bảo and the city of Savannakhet).

The river enables cross-border trade and commerce between Lao Bảo and Savannakhet.

The Sepon is also regarded as a minor trade artery linking Vietnam and Thailand.

In addition, one can cross into Laos from Vietnam by motorboat, which takes about 30 minutes to arrive at Savannakhet.
