NONG KHAI The Thai-Lao friendship bridge, opened in 1995, has given the formerly quiet town of Nong Khai a much higher profile. With the Lao capital of Vientiane just 25 km away, Nong Khai has become an important market for the exchange of Lao and Thai goods. |

| One of Nong Khai's most populur attractions is Sala Kaew Ku. The grounds of this unusual temple are filled with strange statues depicting scenes from Buddhist and Hindu lore. following the Mekong river east from Nong Khai you will arive at Phu Thok, a huge outcropping of rock rising abruptly from the plain at Bung Kan. A winding network of stair cases and walkways leads to the top, where there is a magnificent view of the surrounding area. Near the top is a meditation temple which can be reached only by a small pathway which clings to the sheer cliff. | ||||
