Nong Khai
 

Seems like an amazing place! I would love to hear from others that have been there.

I plan on staying at Mut Mee if I do end up here. I would love to hear from others that have also been here@

Thanks!

nang kai. I've been up there twice but never stayed long. it's a boarder town and looks like one from what little I saw. There wasn't anything to special. I have never heard nang Kai being described as amazing either not even from some people that I now who were born there, but do post what you have found to be amazing and maybe I will check it out when I need to make a 'run" to laos. I just asked my Gf about nang kai, and said ther is a famous resort up there.

Okay, so maybe "amazing" is pushing it a little.

Mut Mee's looks like a nice place to relax for a couple of days and relaxing is what I plan on doing during my trip in November.

It is also an easy gateway into Vientieng, which offers daily flights to Luang Prabang. That is really the main reason I may stay here.

Thanks!

Oops! Vientiane, not Vientieng.

My brother and his wife went up there in 2004. They loved it. They stayed in basic accomodations. One day they hired a driver to visit out-of-the-way Wats. Another day they rented scooters and wandered on their own. They always ate breakfast at a place where they were the only Farangs and no English was spoken. Their stories of pantomiming eggs are quite funny.

Any town can be nice for a few days, the river setting, easy to get across to Laos, why not !

Royal Mekong on the River is the flash place in town, probably about USD 25-30 .

Andy, that's funny about the eggs. I can almost picture it!

Thanks James!
