Nong Khai is the northernmost of the north-eastern (Isan) provinces of Thailand.
It borders to multifarious provinces of Laos which are Vientiane Province, Vientiane Prefecture and Bolikhamxai. The limits is formed with Maekong River. Vientiane, the Laotian capital, is secluded 25 kilometers right now from the provincial prime Nong Khai.
The Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge which connects them was built jointly by the governments of Thailand, Laos and Australia and was opened in 1994. The dynasty is subdivided case 17 districts which are Mueang Nong Khai, Bueng Kan, Phon Phisai, Tha Bo, Sangkhom, Seka, So Phisai, Si Chiang Mai, Phon Charoen, Pak Khat, Bueng Khong Long, Si Wilai, Bung Khla, Sa Khrai, Rattana Wapi, Fao Rai and Pho Tak.. The districts are further subdivided into 115 subdistricts and 1099 villages.
Nong Khai is a remiss Thai town with unfearful Lao influences, and is familiar to cramped Chinese and Vietnamese communities as well. Most locals conjecture both Thai and the fixed dialect called Isaan, which is closely related to both the Thai and Lao languages. Many locals speak a little bit of English, mostly tourism-related words, and are generally very friendly and helpful if you smile and are polite. As you can see above that many local people are required to speak English because Nong Khai is a tourism province with a lot of tourists. So there is no doubt that Nong Khai has many attractive places and worth to visit.
