This is an old picture from 2008, so that might be what tripped it up. I re-ran the prompt in a different o3 window with the extra information that the picture was from 2008 (I can’t prove that it doesn’t share information across windows, but it didn’t mention this in the chain of thought). Now the Mekong is its #1 pick, although it gets the exact spot wrong - it guesses the Mekong near Phnom Penh, over a thousand miles from Chiang Saen.
