Nong Khai’s new skywalk found popular among tourists

 

 

BANGKOK, 4 January 2017 (NNT) - Tourists continue flocking to Nong Khai province to visit various parts of the city. 

Reporters said tourists have been taking a long walk through this northeastern province after the temperatures dropped, with the main attraction being Wat Pha Tak Suea, where the glass skywalk was built earlier in 2016. 

Security officers have also urged the tourists to comply with local laws and regulations. 

For safety reasons, only 25 to 30 tourists are allowed on the skywalk at a time. 

Nongkhai’s skywalk was opened on April 6 and more than 100,000 travelers have visited the place so far.

But not all are built according to local safety standards.  

Think I will give this sky walk a miss until I grow wings and learn to fly
