Travel Destinations - Nong Khai Province
The Mekong River flows along the
horizontal Nong Khai’s northern side, separating it from Laos.
The provincial city, sitting on the Mekong bank, is only 24
km from Vientiane, the capital of Laos. Once a sleepy border
town, the Thai-Laos Friendship Bridge transformed it into
one of the busiest commercial centers in the region. Yet,
it has still retained its peaceful, riverside charms. Outside
the city is a wealth of beautiful scenery comprised of lush
forests and many small, interesting towns dotting the banks
of Mekong River.
Nong Khai is 615 kilometres from Bangkok and has an area of
7,739 square kilometres. It consists of the following districts:
Muang, Bueng Kan, Phon Phisai, Tha Bo, Sangkhom, Seka, So
Phisai, Si Chiang Mai, Phon Charoen, Pak Khat, Bueng Khong
Long, Si Wilai, Bung Khla, Sa Khrai, Rattana Wapi, Fao Rai
and Pho Tak.
