Check Into the Top 12 Nong Khai Hotels and Take Advantage of River Views and Rooftop Bliss!
Nong Khai is a place I love visiting, so one lazy afternoon, I decided to book a riverside hotel in preparation for a long weekend. To my surprise, I ended up on a rooftop with sweeping Mekong views, watching the sun dip behind Laos with a drink in hand.
By the way, some hotels that I tried in Nong Khai felt like retreats built for peace and privacy, while others had rooftop lounges, infinity pools, and charming local hospitality. I also have this wishlist of hotels that I’m looking forward to experiencing, thanks to rave reviews from fellow travellers and friends who swear by their weekend getaways.
From budget-friendly finds that surprise with thoughtful touches to luxe stays that know how to pamper, these are my top picks in Nong Khai, where riverside serenity meets rooftop bliss.
