Bassac River

Bassac River

The Bassac River (commonly called Tonle Bassac ទន្លេ​បាសាក់) is a distributary of the Tonle Sap and Mekong River. The river starts from Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and flows south out to the Vietnamese border near Châu Đốc. In Vietnam, it is known as the Hậu River ("Sông Hậu" or "Hậu Giang" in Vietnamese). The Bassac River is a popular entry and exit route for the locals between Cambodia and Vietnam and is used for transporting goods between the two countries.

Monivong Bridge spans the river at Phnom Penh.
