Chiang Mai to Nong Khai

Nong Khai is a stunning city situated in Northeast Thailand, a place that provides travelers with the sensibilities of a town between water and vast, green valleys. Nong Khai lies on the Mekong river with easy access to Laos through the Thai-Lao friendship bridge, making a beautiful jumping point to Vientiane. When exploring the city, head to the spiritual centers like the Wat Pho Chai temple, a colorful extravaganza of Buddhism. Food is also often considered to be a sort of religion, and you can definitely find the meals that locals "pray to" at the Saturday night market.
