Shopping in Nong Khai Province

  1. Village Vocational Training Center

    This school is 7km south of town (take Hwy 2 and follow the sign east). It’s a great place to see the mát·mèe process from start to finish, and it also has a pottery workshop and mushroom farm.

    This place sells high-quality, handwoven fabrics and clothing (ready made or made to order) that help fund development projects around Nong Khai. The mát·mèe cotton is particularly good here.
