North Isaan & the Mekong, Small Group Tour

Bangkok → Udon Thani 4 days Up to 8

About this trip

Four days along Thailand's northern stretch of the Mekong, where the culture leans as much towards Laos as it does towards the rest of Thailand. This is a quieter, less-visited side of the country, built around temples, markets, and river towns rather than beaches or nightlife.

You'll take in the landscapes around Khao Kho, explore the riverside town of Chiang Khan, and spend time in Nong Khai and Udon Thani getting a feel for the Thai-Lao mix that shapes daily life here.

Travelling in a small group of up to eight, with an easy pace suited to families and anyone wanting a short, culture-focused introduction to the north rather than a packed itinerary.

What you'll do

  • Take in the scenery around Khao Kho
  • Wander the riverside streets of Chiang Khan
  • Visit temples in Nong Khai
  • Explore the markets and streets of Udon Thani
  • See first-hand how Thai and Laotian cultures blend in this region
Good to know
  • Small group of up to 8 travellers
  • Easy pace, suited to families
  • Partially guided, so some time is yours to explore independently
