The first two editions of our free, printed Nong Khai Map have been very well received by visitors and residents of Nong Khai and have also bee a success for those who have advertised on them. Thank you to every one who took the time to give us encouraging feedback about our maps.
However, there is always room for improvement and so I have been very busy over the last month redesigning the map ready for the third edition which will be distributed throughout Nong Khai Over the next couple of days.
If you have already picked up a copy of the July or August edition of our free map, look out for this new and much improved version.
As well as adding in a lot more useful information to the map, the redesign has addressed minor readability issues and I am sure it will prove as popular as ever.

I thought I should just end a myth associated with the rainy season that a number of people have commented on recently.
The problem with the term ‘rainy season’ is that it can conjure up images of months of unbroken torrential rain. The fact of the matter is that it can be days or weeks between rain and when it does come, it is often just a short shower. Occasionally, there are more prolonged downpours, but these are generally not the norm.
So if you are thinking of visiting Nong Khai, but are considering avoiding the rainy season for fear of not being able to venture outside for the duration of your stay, you need not worry. Most likely, you’ll enjoy the majority of your time bathed in sunshine and if there is a shower or two, you’ll probably welcome the cooling and freshening of the air that comes with it.
