Sectional Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Thinking of Phitsanulok to Nong khai or Mukdahan to Nong Khai. Which is more interesting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revgreen Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Loei is beautiful. I'd go that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isanbirder Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 It rather depends where you're starting from, doesn't it? Pi-lok to Nong Khai takes you through Nam Nao National Park. You can also swing off north through Dansai, Phu Rua and Loei, and then strike for the Mekong at Chang Khian. The road then takes you along the Mekong through Si Chiangmai (spring roll capital of the world!) and down into Nong Khai. The route northwards from Mukdahan goes through That Phanom. Unfortunately most of it is a mile or two away from the river, so you don't get all that much river scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Mukdahan unfortunately you hardly see the Mekong at all... Edited August 10, 2016 by bergen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoshowJones Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Great route from Phitsanulok on the 12 road down past Lomsak, then straight on from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1FinickyOne Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Yes, the route out of Phitsanoluk going east is very nice, clean air, pleasant drive through the mtns with a few national parks and waterfalls along the way. Make sure to fill your tank before leaving P-lok as there are no gas stations for a while... Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
