Getting Around Nong Khai

When you get to Nong Khai, most tourists prefer to travel by foot or on a bicycle. Renting a bicycle for a day costs around 30 baht. There are also motorbikes available for about 2-300 baht a day. You can usually negotiate prices if you’re going to be renting the vehicle for more than a day.

Aside from bicycles and motorbikes, your only other option for traveling around Nong Khai is the tuk-tuk which costs only 20-50 baht per head for a trip to anywhere in the city centre. A tuk-tuk ride to the Friendship Bridge will cost a minimum of 70 baht if there’s only one passenger. Most tuk- tuk drivers will try to overcharge tourists, but it’s easy to bargain as long as you’re polite, patient and you have a nice smile.
