Description: |
|
Loei is the first province in the northeast of Thailand which
the Mekong River flows through. The small district of Chiang
Khan is located here. The river flows through Chiang Khan
District, Pak Chom District, and then Nong Khai Province. The
Mekong River marks the boundary of Thailand and Laos, and
sustains the lives of both populations.
Chiang Khan is a very
old city with a unique culture and way of life. The most
impressive scenes of Chiang Khan are the simple wooden houses
adapted to be guest houses, coffee shops, and souvenir shops. On
a beautiful day with nice weather, Chiang Khan provides a
peaceful local life with a warm welcome for all visitors. Why
not hire a bicycle and ride around Chiang Khan. Your ride can
take you to all attractions because Chiang Khan is a small town.
So, you can travel around easily by bicycle. Riding a bicycle is
not only for travelling but is also healthy exercise and reduces
pollution.
For Buddhists, there are several temples
presenting the art of Lan Na and Lan Chang. You can pay respects
to the Lan Chang Buddha statue made of carved wood at Sri Khun
Muang Temple. The pulpit of this temple is also carved and
gilded. Not far from the first temple, there is another called
Pon Chai Temple. Here you can experience the combination of Lan
Chang and Rattanakosin art. The local culture of Chiang Khan has
been preserved until the present day. The local people wake up
very early in the morning and stand in line to give alms to the
Buddhist monks. This is a beautiful scene which typifies Chiang
Khan. |
