Nong Khai Province

Introducing Nong Khai Province

Nong Khai Province, occupying a narrow, 320km-long sweep along the banks of the Mekong, is a beautiful, intriguing region. The capital, Nong Khai, is where the Friendship Bridge crosses into Laos – only the second bridge to be erected anywhere along the Mekong’s entire length; the first was in the People’s Republic of China. The town is one of northeastern Thailand’s most popular tourist destinations and features the surreal Sala Kaew Ku sculpture park, a must-see on any jaunt through the region.
