Climate Overview
November to February is the easiest overall fit for Nong Khai because city walks, river evenings, and Sangkhom-side viewpoints are more comfortable. Saturday is especially useful if you want the walking-street version of the Mekong side. Hot months still work if you plan around mornings and evenings.
