What our travelers think about their stay

Chiang Khong is a city in Northern Thailand. Located on the banks of the Mekong, it's an entry point to get to Laos.

My suggestion

Enjoy the view of the Mekong from one of the guesthouses located on its banks and go to the Hub Pub for its nice atmosphere.

My suggestion

One or two days are enough for exploring Chiang Khong and its surroundings by scooter. You can follow the Mekong down a hilly road.

Experience Thailand without riding elephants!

Elephant rides have become a major concern in many locations, but are still offered by a handful of so-called "sanctuaries" with the proposition to get close to the exotic and majestic animal. Elephant rides are offered on every street corner and Westerners have little knowledge about the cruel methods to succeed in training these enormous animals.

Bangkok, a continental megalopolis

Come and completely immerse yourself in the gigantic megalopolis which is Bangkok.

Khao Yai or the paradise of species

To set the scene for you, imagine 2,188 km² covered by 80% forest and populated with more than 800 animal species roaming completely free. Add streams, waterfalls and a mountain range amongst 2,000 plant species. Classify it all as a UNESCO world heritage site and you have the Khao Yai national park.
