Nong Khai Province จังหวัดหนองคาย is a province of Thailand in the Northeastern Region. It occupies a strip of land on the southern bank of the Mekong River, which forms the border with Laos to the north.

The area was traditionally ruled by either the Kingdom of Ayutthaya or the Laotian Kingdom of Lan Xang, with power swinging between the two, until eventually it was taken over by Siam following the Haw Wars against Chinese quasi-military forces that invaded between 1865 and 1890.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
