Reasons to Make a Visit to Mukdahan
It is becoming a good stop off point for tourists - especially now as it has a first class 5 star hotel - with a restaurant that has attractive views over the River Khong.
Naturally the restaurant specialises in Thai Food - with a specialist menu of Vietnamese cuisine.
A very popular Indo-Chinese market is open from early morning until 6.00pm every day - and attracts locals from Vietnam, Laos, China, and other Asian countries.
It is just a few minutes from the Lao border - accessed by the Thai-Laos bridge over the R Khong.
A bus service is also available but used by Thai locals.
It is particularly favoured by Thais who like to pop over to Laos for a little bit of Gambling - which of course is illegal in Thailand.
It has very favourable year round climates, with the hottest months being March - May averaging around 34-35° Celsius.
The annual high is in the region of 31 degrees, so not too much variation either side of the hot months.
Coolest months being Dec-Jan with night temperatures in the region of 19 degrees average - but still with very amenable day temperatures of around 30° Celsius.
