Nakhon Phanom

Hi

I'm taking my first trip to NP in a few weeks time, thinking of staying at The River View Hotel. If anyone has any advice regarding what to see, where to stay, what to avoid, etc. I'd be very grateful.

By the way, I can only find one airline that operates from BKK to KOP (PB Air). Don't Thai fly this route any longer?

Thanks very much.

About the hotel, I have no opinion. But I can confirm yes only PB Air is going to NP. Another solution is to go to Khong Khaeng ou Udon Thani and rent a car.

It's been a couple of years but... PB Air were excellent and their Embrarers are super aircraft. We stayed at the River View and thoroughly enjoyed it. Had river view rooms as well.

The River View Hotel is very comfortable. Ask for a room facing the river. A good time to go to Nakhon Phanom will be at Ork Pansa (the end of the Buddhist lent) 6th, 7th and 8th October this year. The illuminated boat procession on the Mekhong takes place thenand it's spectacular. Get there early and sit right down by the river to see the dancing on the floating pontoons.

Also, take a trip down the river to That Phanom. There is a Laos-style chedi there which is interesting.

Have Stayed at the River View a few times, a very nice hotel, friendly staff.

There is also a nice restaurant next door overlooking the river, just turn left as you leave the hotel and you can't miss it.

Also stayed in a hotel in the town centre the name escapes me, not quite as nice, very basic but it did have half a dozen full size snooker tables downstairs!

I think only PB air fly there now.

I'm going there in a couple of weeks, flight's already booked. Does anyone know what the walk in rates are compared to booking online ? I've also read that they usually have a representative at the airport to meet incoming flights.
