How to get there?

From Khon Kaen to Nong Khai, we takes about 1.30 hours by car.

By plane

You can go to the nearest airport (on the Thai side). It is in Udon Thani. There are direct shuttle buses four times a day between the airport and the Friendship Bridge (2km outside Nong Khai), plus taxis and minibuses that will take you in to Nong Khai proper. Thai Airways and Air Asia operate flights between Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi) and Udon Thani. Nok Air operates a service between Bangkok (Don Muang) and Udon.

By bus

There are departures to Udon Thaini at least once per hour from the BKS station on the main drag on Prajak road. The hour-long ride costs 20 baht in 3rd class (non-air con).

                                                 

 By train

You can go to Nong Khai by train. It would take  about 10-12 hours. A first class sleeper ticket from Bangkok to Nong Khai or vice versa is currently about 1200 baht, and a second class sleeper ticket (not bad for the price) is 748 baht ($21.43 USD as of Jan 2009). Sleepers often sell out at peak times so you may need to book in advance.
