The Xe Kaman is a river in southeastern Laos. It flows through the Dong Ampham National Biodiversity Conservation Area of Attapeu Province.[1] The river is known to have populations of dolphins.[2] The area is being destroyed by a dam being built on the river.[3][4] The village of Ban Hin Dam lies on the river and is where boat trips are launched.[5]
