When mentioning Nong Khai Province, many people may think of the mighty Mekong River, the Thai-Laos Friendship Bridge, or the famous Naga Fireballs. But what is hidden amidst the peaceful atmosphere of the city is the classicism reflected in the old colonial-style buildings that line the main streets of the city. These buildings were built since the reign of King Rama V when Nong Khai was the center of trade along the Mekong River, connecting Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. The architectural style was influenced by the French who played a role in Indochina, making many old buildings in the commercial area, such as Prachak Silpakom Road and the Tha Sadet Market area, stand out with arched doors, louvered windows, and carved wooden balconies that have maintained their beauty across time. ■ Living historical windows Nong Khai is not just a city of old buildings, but also a city full of history that still breathes. Every corner of the city is full of stories, from the era when it was a front line defense against the invasion of Vientiane in the early Rattanakosin period to being a center of trade and culture along the Mekong River. One of the important places that tells the history of Nong Khai well is Wat Pho Chai, which enshrines Luang Pho Phra Sai, a sacred Buddha image with a legend related to the Lao royal family. And it is the center of the heart of the local people. ■ People and lifestyle What makes Nong Khai even more charming is the people who live in this city. The friendliness and hospitality of the people of Nong Khai make visitors feel warm. The simple way of life along the Mekong River is still carried out, from the morning market full of vendors who can speak both Thai and Lao, to the old coffee shop that has been open for decades. If you walk around the city in the evening, you may find groups of elderly people sitting and talking in front of ancient buildings or children running around the small alleys, reflecting the city that still preserves its roots very well. ■ Culture that connects the past and present The culture of Nong Khai is a mix of Thai, Lao, and Western influences, from local traditions such as the Naga fireballs during the end of Buddhist Lent that attract people from all over the country to see the mysterious phenomenon, to the traditional Songkran festival held at temples along the Mekong River. In addition, the local food of Nong Khai reflects the food culture that has been influenced by its neighbors, such as jaew bong, pla ra, som tam lao, khao piak sen, and Mekong riverside dishes such as pla kang luk jim or bamboo shoot curry with grilled fish. With a unique rich flavor Conclusion: A city with life and classics that never change Nong Khai may not be a city that changes as rapidly as big cities, but its charm lies in its preservation of its own classicism, both through old buildings full of stories, living history, warm people, and an unfading culture. If you are someone who is fascinated by a city with a retro charm but still has life, Nong Khai is a destination that should not be missed. #Nong Khai Classic #Old Colonial Buildings #Nong Khai History #Mekong River Culture #Mekong River Lifestyle #Visit Nong Khai #Nong Khai Must Visit #Isan Classic #Nong Khai Charm #Retro Thailand Travel #GoEatGo #Tourism Authority of Thailand

In the evening, relax at a barbecue by the Mekong River, then sit and enjoy a cold beer. In the morning, we went to Sala Kaew Ku to take the kids to feed the fish.

#CafeReview ☕ Today we will take you to visit Nong Khai Province. We will walk along the Mekong River and go shopping at Tha Sadet Market. We found a cafe with a cool breeze on the road along the Mekong River. The shop is called Na Talat Tha Ruea. 🛖 Na Talat Tha Ruea Cafe is a wooden shop decorated in an 80-90s style. The chairs and tables are all made of wood. Most importantly, the atmosphere is very good because it is located next to the Mekong River. You can sit and relax, enjoy the cool breeze, watch people walking by, and take pictures of the 2 Nagas along the Mekong River. 📌 Note: This shop does not have air conditioning because the wind from the river is already cool. 🍰☕ The shop's menu has both caffeine and non-caffeine. The price is less than a hundred, but the taste is very good. You can sit and relax all day. #CafeRimKhong

Nong Khai is a province with many interesting things to explore, both history and tourist attractions. I had the opportunity to try the famous Nem Nuang. I had the opportunity to walk around the Mekong River Market nearby, but unfortunately, due to the past Covid situation, the market still looks quiet and not very lively. Most of the products are from China, but there are still some strange local food products to look at. The only disadvantage during this time is that it is hot, very hot.

The atmosphere of walking along the Mekong River in the morning is very cool, walking in the cold wind, the air is cool and comfortable. When we went, the temperature was 10 degrees, there are many beautiful angles to take pictures. At noon, if you are hungry, you can go down to eat on the boat. It is not very expensive. The food is delicious. You can see the Mekong River up close, right on the edge. Finally, we chartered a boat to the Phra That Klang Nam for 1,000 baht. The trip ended with walking to buy snacks and souvenirs at the market. The souvenirs are clothes, OTOP products, snacks #secret location #thailand
