We pride ourselves on being the most comprehensive online source of information about Nong Khai. Nong Khai information is indeed a commercial operation, but we certainly do not let that get in the way of our main focus which is to provide complete and accurate information about Nong Khai, the province in which we live. All too often, one sees websites that merely list those companies who have paid to be included. Whilst this may save time and effort in building the website, it is far from useful for visitors to the site looking for complete information.

The cost of online advertising can sometimes prove prohibitive for some of the smaller establishments who offer just a few budget-rate rooms, for example. It is for this reason that we offer free listings for all businesses. In this way, no one is excluded from our listings. (If you run, or know of, a business that is not yet included on our website, please contact us.)

In the next few days, our free printed map of Nong Khai will be available. This is a project that has taken a great deal of our time recently, but with work on the map complete and in the hands of the printer, we will be able to fully focus our attention on website content once again.

As well as updating our existing Nong Khai Hotels, Nong Khai Restaurants and Nong Khai Bars sections, we will also be adding information to the Visa section of our website. We also have a lot more information about Nong Khai Attractions to be uploaded complete with a number of additional photo galleries. If you have any suggestions of items to be included in any of these sections, or if you have any relevant questions that need answers please contact us.

We will also be adding a page providing links to other websites that may be useful to people living in or visiting Nong Khai. This will include any other websites containing information about Nong Khai, or sites relevant to Ex-pats living in Thailand. We will also be adding links to similar ‘town guide’ sites for other towns in Thailand. If you have any suggestions of sites to be included, please contact us.

Finally, more staff at the offices of Nong Khai Information.com and Nong Khai Design.com. Copy will be our full time office manager as of today. Our opening times are 9:00am to 6:00pm Monday to Friday. However, with just myself and May, it had been difficult to remain open for all of this time as we had to occasionally spend time away from the office when visiting clients or working on off site design projects. However, with Copy now working full time, we will be a lot more consistent!
