webfact Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Mekong River in Nong Khai at its most beautiful now By The Nation Cool weather and clear skies have made the Mekong River in Nong Khai province a sight to behold. “According to the Water Resource Regional Office 3, the water levels in the Mekong River was only 2.43 metres, up by just 3 centimetres after recent rainfall,” the Nong Khai Public Relations Office reported on its Facebook page. “There is a gentle breeze with temperature as low as 18 degrees Celsius in the mornings, which turns the river into a picturesque sight, reflecting the blue of the sky as well as silhouettes of rafts, boats, houses and temples on both Thailand’s and Laos’ side.” The office said the river is at its most beautiful in the morning and advises people to stand against the sun to enjoy the vista.

Moonlover Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Couldn't agree more. We were up there a few days ago for a mini-break. (break from what some may justifiably ask ???? ) It really was gorgeous and we enjoyed the most beautiful sunset. We also went up river to visit Wat Pha Tak Suea and its skywalk. What stunning views one sees from up there. We spent the last night in a hotel right by the river, below the skywalk. It was well worth the trip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brer Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) It’s still a dirty brown colour where I am and the banks are jammed with plastic bottles and Kratongs made from non environmentally friendly materials. My swimming pool looks far better. Edited November 10, 2020 by Brer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as that's where it stays and not up to your back door... or worse, out of sight.???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is especially so in the lower reaches south of Nong Khai. So there's a treat in store whatever the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
