Bueng Kan Province จังหวัดบึงกาฬ

Bueng Kan Province จังหวัดบึงกาฬ is a province on the northeastern edge of Thailand. It covers 4,305 square kilometers and has a population of 408,000 people (2011 estimate).

Located in the Isan region, Bueng Kan Province was created out of a number of districts of Nong Khai Province namely Amphoe Bueng Kan, Amphoe Seka, Amphoe So Phisai, Amphoe Bung Khla, Amphoe Bueng Khong Long, Amphoe Pak Khat , Amphoe Phon Charoen and Amphoe Si Wilai. The idea to establish Bueng Kan Province was first raised in 1994, but a lapse of twenty years would pass before the Ministry of Interior renewed the project. A referendum was held that saw some 99% of the population of Nong Khai Province supporting the idea. The bill for the creation of the province was eventually approved on 7 February, 2011.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
