Nong Khai was a nice relaxing town by the Mekong River that most people just pass by like a gateway town to Laos Vientiane. I was lucky to be there during a Saturday night where the whole riverside was bustling of activity from the weekly night market.

Apart from just wandering and riding around Nong Khai, sampling delicious food of the Isaan province there was not much to do. The stark different in cuisine between Laos and Thailand Isaan still surprise me for such as short distance border away.

Day trip from Nong Khai was a short ride away to Phu Phrabat Historical Park. To be frank I was really lazy this time of the travel and did not think much of it. Thinking back thou, it was a unique rock formation that is very rare to see this part of the world.
The hot weather did not make exploring the park ideal and I kept ducking underneath these giant rock perch precariously on a tiny stump rock that may fall at any time. Not the best idea but heck its been there for millions of years so I cant be that unlucky rite.
