Lets have fun at ChiangKhan, the Mekhong riverside town

8 hours far from Bangkok, 40 minutes drive from Loei downtown, ChiangKhan, the serene old town is waiting to welcome tourist worldwide. Besides a German group tour, the five of us had fun moment there last month with bicycling, picnic, market strolling, and the Mekhong River sight seeing.

As soon as arriving the simply guesthouse, the atmosphere of my life completely changed, serenity, fresh air, friendly host, and lazy time. it was completely different from Bangkok.

ChiangKhan, the small guesthouse, where we planned to sleep in, was full with tourist from Germany and Thailand. It was simple yet fabulous. The nice smell of the wood made you sleep so well that night.  The Thai cat sleeping on the long table front of the hall way to guest room made me even more grateful of coming.

My friend jumped to this bamboo-made-hammock after unpacked her load. I didn’t know why only this little thing could make us feel so good.

After relaxing in the house, around 3 pm, when the temperature was not so hot (that we melted); we started the planned activities, bicycling along side the Mekong River, going local market and picnic for sun set.

Houses in this old street are conserved. Tourist can see some old wooden houses on the way bicycling.

Bicycle path is well prepared. We could see a village of Thailand- neighborhood, Laos, as well.

The another side of the river was the land of our neighborhood, Laos.

In rain season, we could imagine how much the tide of Mekhong River rising from these measure bars.
