• Homestay in Tha Uten overlooks Mekong

  Perfect for the bicycler riding along the Mekong. In Tha Uten (27 km north of Nakhon Phanom), is a newly built homestay 'hut' on the Mekong river road. Located a few hundred metres north of the center of town, it is too beautiful to be a 'hut'. It's a separate building from the family's house, very clean and comfy. The view across the Mekong is spectacular. 600 baht per night includes meals and conversation with a wonderful Thai family. This bicycler stayed an extra day.

• NKP is a great little city!

  I love this little town. Rich in history, Nakhon Phanom is where Ho Chi Minh spent several years (the house is now a museum). The airport allows for easy access to Bangkok - PB Air flies several flights a week into the old Air America airport there. Much of the secret war in Laos was fought from and around Nakhon Phanom.
  
  As the original article states, That Phanom is definitely worth seeing, and it's the nicest temple I have seen in my two years in Thailand.
  
  I love the nightlife there. Centred around the Vietnamese clock tower there is a nice little mix of bars and restaurants.
  
  I found the locals to be extremely friendly and charming.

  This gives your review a bit of context - especially if you were last in Chiang Mai in 1932.
