The Mekong River is my favourite river and seeing the Mekong River feels like coming home. In 2015 we were along the Mekong River at Kaeng Kood Koo, near Chiang Khan, where the mighty Mae Nam Khong (Mekong River) makes a sharp turn. And in the water are many big rocks, that according to a local legend are put in the water by an angry giant. From here you can make small boat trips over the river. And of course there is a market, restaurants and even a nice looking resort Chiang Khan Hill Resort. Traveling along the Mekong River in Thailand, Laos or Cambodia is like time-traveling. From Kaeng Kood Koo it is only 55 km to Tha-Li the international border crossing-point to Laos and only 425 km to Luang Prabang (the old capital of Laos).
