For most travelers, Udon Thani International Airport (UTH) is the most practical choice; although not in Nong Khai itself, it serves as the primary domestic gateway with frequent minivan and taxi connections. Wattay International Airport (VTE) is the closest option geographically, yet it serves the nearby city of Vientiane, Laos, meaning travelers must account for international border formalities at the Friendship Bridge which can add significant time. Khon Kaen International Airport (KKC) is located further away in the neighboring city of Khon Kaen, but it remains a top tier choice for those prioritizing rail travel, offering a cost-effective and scenic connection directly to the city. Loei Airport (LOE) and Xieng Khouang Airport (XKH) are both situated in neighboring provinces and serve niche mountain routes; they are best suited for travelers already exploring those regions rather than those visiting Nong Khai primarily. We recommend using official taxi desks or verified shuttle services for ease of travel, particularly when crossing provincial or national borders.

I was received with warmth and hospitality from the moment I stepped onto the premises. Every employee at MutMee including the owners of the guesthouse were extraordinary kind and helpful.
The room was clean, comfortable, spacious and equipped with two fans and a mini fridge.
The garden area was certainly a highlight and I spent a lot of time outside lounging in a chair or in the hammock. The garden is tastefully decorated with large trees shading the entire area
The house cat, Jack and I watched squirrels playing above our heads.
Their Americano’s kept me coming back for and the chicken Pad Thai was very tasty.
I highly recommend this guesthouse for relaxation and outstanding views of the Mekong River!FromUS$10

Good value hotel with an elevator, spacious room, comfy bed, and good shower pressure (rain shower type in my room). But bring your own shower soap/gel About 10-12 min walk to the river promenade and market. Hotel is surrounded by bars and restaurants, but it was quiet with not many customers around. There's a very nice vegetarian place (Nanping Sun) about 2-3 blocks away. About a 20 min walk to the bus station.FromUS$17

The hotel is excellent, beautiful, and stylish. The staff are incredibly lovely and provide top-notch service. The in-room amenities are thoughtfully designed for optimal use, which I really appreciated. There's a slight issue with the reflective glass panel that partially obstructs the Mekong River view, making it a bit unclear. Also, the balcony was a bit dusty (perhaps because I checked in at 8 PM). I loved that they offer free bicycles to borrow. The breakfast was good and tasty, though not overly varied.FromUS$52
