Nong Khai
Visitors to Nong Khai are not attracted by its sights, such as temples and museums, but by its close proximity to the border with Laos and its main town of Vientiane (once called Viangchan). The view across the mighty Mekong, south-eastern Asia's largest river and the eighth-longest river in the world, is impressive.
By car: from Udon Thani Highway 2 (53 km (33 mi.)).
By rail: terminus of the Bangkok to south-west Thailand line.
By bus: from Bangkok Southern Bus Terminal three times daily.
Nearest airport: Udon Thani (50 km (31 mi.); bus connections).
