Dear Mekong Memo Reader,
As we reflect on the past year since we began publishing the Mekong Memo, we are filled with gratitude for your readership and support. When we started this journey, our goal was simple: to help you stay informed about Southeast Asia's dynamic landscape without it feeling like a full-time job.
Over the last 12 months, we've carefully curated stories that capture the essence of what's happening in the region. From Cambodia's ambitious and controversial Funan Techo canal to the ongoing civil war in Myanmar, from out-of-control inflation in Laos to Thaksin Shinawatra's return to Thai politicsโwe've worked to bring you the news that truly matters.
We understand that keeping up with Southeast Asia's fast changing environment can be overwhelming. That's why we review more than 5,000 stories each week to present you with the handful that have the most impact, saving you time while keeping you well-informed.
To our diligent readers who support us with a paid subscription, thank you. Your contribution enables us to continue this work and improve our offerings.
For those who are still reading for free, we kindly invite you to consider becoming a paid subscriber. Your support will help us bring you even better stories and insights. As a subscriber, you'll gain unlimited access to our full archive and enjoy other member benefits.
The Mekong Memo is currently read by nearly 3,500 readers, and we'd be delighted to have you join our community of paid subscribers. If you'd like to support us and unlock access to the full archive, you can do so now by clicking here:
