Chiang Khong reviews

• Fell in love with Chiang Khong

  The average time a phalang spends in Chiang Khong is apparently 10 hours. I was one of those avenge foreigners but ended up staying ten days. Magnificent scenery out in the country, beautiful people (even if they all know each other), which was a reason for me staying for another week on my return leg.
  
  Don't overlook, there's too much heavy traffic for the small roads because of the Chinese-fundde bridge that is being built south of Chiang Khong over to laos but that's expected to be completed by the end of the year. Having seen progress recently, I'd be very surprised if the deadline was met but not missed by much.
  
  I loved the place.

• Came for a day, spent a few

  We got here early from Chiang Rai, on the day before our planned crossing to Lao. Once we got here, we decided to stay a few more days. True what is said - that if there wasn't a border-crossing reason to come here, it would still stand on it's own as an interesting place to see and stay. The Bamboo Mexican restaurant has decent Mexican food for Thailand, and great homemade whole wheat bread!

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