The Bassac River (Khmer: ទន្លេបាសាក់; Tonlé Bassac) is a distributary of the Tonlé Sap and Mekong River. The river starts in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and flows southerly, crossing the border into Vietnam near Châu Đốc. The name Bassac comes from the Khmer prefix “pa” (father or male) added to sak (សក្តិ) (power or honor), [1] a Khmer word borrowed from the Sanskrit “sakti” (शक्ति).

In Vietnam it is known as the Hậu River (Sông Hậu or Hậu Giang in Vietnamese).
The Bassac River is an important transportation corridor between Cambodia and Vietnam, with barges and other craft plying the waters. A city of the same name was once the west-bank capital of the Kingdom of Champasak.[2] Sak (សក្តិ) can also be seen in the Khmer spelling of Champasak; (ចំប៉ាសក្តិ). USS Satyr (ARL-23), a recommissioned repair ship originally built for the United States Navy during World War II, served on the Bassac River during the Vietnam War.[3]
Three bridges span the Bassac: the Monivong and Takhmao bridges in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and the Cần Thơ Bridge in Cần Thơ in Vietnam.
Approximately 8.5 kilometers to Prey Basak lies a ruined ancient temple called Prasat Prey Basak Temple, which was destroyed during the Vietnam War due to heavy bombing from the United States military. Prasat Prey Basak Temple was built by the Funan Kingdom during the 2nd and 3rd centuries. The temple is dated between 1,900 and 2,000 years old. It is considered to be the oldest prasat in Cambodia.

Bassac was an important economic center, for it was the outlet for the trade from the east bank of the Mekong, including the Bolovens Plateau, Sara vane, Attopeu, and Kontum Plateau regions. From Bassac, trade in cardamon, rubber, wax, resin, skins, horns, and slaves, was conducted with Ubon, Khorat, and Bangkok.

[de] Bassac (Fluss)
Der Bassac (khm. ទន្លេបាសាក់; Tonle Bassac) ist der größte Mündungsarm des Mekong. Der Fluss teilt sich in Phnom Penh, Kambodscha, vom Mekong ab, fließt in südlicher Richtung und ist von Long Bình bis Pak Nam auf einer kurzen Strecke von rund 10 km Grenzfluss zwischen Kambodscha und Vietnam. In An Thường, rund 50 km nach Cần Thơ und 35 km vor der Mündung ins Südchinesische Meer im Mekongdelta, teilt er sich in zwei weitere Mündungsarme auf, deren nordöstlicher die Grenze zwischen den Provinzen Trà Vinh und Sóc Trăng bildet.- [en] Bassac River
[it] Bassac (fiume)
Il fiume Bassac (o Basak), chiamato Tonle Bassac (ទន្លេបាសាក់) in Khmer, è un effluente (o distributario) del Tonle Sap e del Mekong. Inizia a Phnom Penh, capitale della Cambogia, e scorre verso Sud, entro poche decine di km a ovest del corso principale del Mekong, incontrando il confine con il Vietnam presso Châu Đốc. In territorio vietnamita è connesso trasversalmente al ramo principale del Mekong e concorre a formare il Delta del Mekong, bagnando il capoluogo di Cần Thơ, fino a sfociare nel mar Cinese meridionale. In Vietnamita è chiamato fiume Hậu (Sông Hậu o Hậu Giang). Costituisce una trafficata via di comunicazione, usata per il trasporto di merci tra Cambogia e Vietnam.[ru] Бассак (река)
