The Beung Kiat Ngong Wetlands complex is made up of a number of important wetland types, including swamps, lakes, peatlands and marshes. The edge of the wetland is forested, and is surrounded by large trees, including species typically found in the south and east of Lao PDR. The forest is rich due to the quality soil and abundance of water, and seasonal and perennial flooded grasses are found here. The Beung Kiat Ngong Wetlands is also the only place in Lao PDR where peatland areas can be found.
