Tiền River

The Tiền River (Vietnamese: Sông Tiền 瀧前 or Tiền Giang 前江) is the main northern branch of the Mekong through Vietnam.^[1]

The Mekong separates at Phnom Penh into the main northern branch of the Mekong proper - called the Tiền River after entering Vietnam - and the southern branch of the Bassac River - which is called the Hậu River (Sông Hậu or Hậu Giang) after entering Vietnam.^[2]

In Vietnam, distributaries of the northern branch sông Tiền or Tiền Giang include the Mỹ Tho River, the Ba Lai River, the Hàm Luông River, and the Cổ Chiên River.
