The footage will be aired in mid-June on Thai PBS Television in a program entitled The Rivers of Life.
Peeyada Prasutsaengchan, head of the filmmaking team said the program aims to capture the most lively scenes of people’s daily lives in South-east Asia and Mekong River as a means to encourage more knowledge of the river.
“They will have then the responsibility for preserving the river’s resources and develop its values,” she added.
This filmmaking team had visited Vietnam several times before to make documentary films all over the country. But this is the first time that Prasutsaengchan has come to Vietnam.
“I am very impressed by the floating market in Soc Trang Province on the Mekong River. It offers chances for people from different regions to meet and exchange their goods”, she said.
In her eyes, the Mekong Delta is like a “green dragon” full of vitality in the rainy season.
“With its great potential, the delta could soon become an attractive tourist destination,” she affirms.
