Tripcom Nature Joy✨

Ready to chase nature vibes and epic eats? Here’s my quick 3-day getaway to Nhongkhai and beyond, pure joy from start to finish! 🌿✨

📅 Itinerary

Day 1:
Start with some travel goals – land at Udon Thani Airport, then drive for about 1 hour to the heart of Nhongkhai. When you arrive, refuel at one of the many cozy cafes downtown. If you’re into quirky spots, don’t miss ‘ชานชาลา’ (Chanchala) – it’s not just a cute cafe but also has a mini #museums
Nhongkhai is a foodie’s paradise. Brunch or lunch at any of the local Vietnamese restaurants is also good choice.
As the sun sets, head towards the city night market right by the Mekong River – the vibes are top-tier and very good view.
Recommend to try some barbeque dishes with a cold drink – this spot gets a WHOLE lotta love from locals for a reason.
We stayed at a minimal, nature-inspired #resorts that’s super warm and inviting (think chill vibes meets cute touches). There are plenty of nature-style hotels and resorts near the city center.

Day 2:
Grab breakfast at the hotel, then set off for the Nayung-Namsom National Park (อุทยานแห่งชาตินายูง-น้ำโสม) – it’s about a 1-hour scenic drive from Nhongkhai. Check the park’s latest opening hours before heading out (usually 6:00-18:00, but always confirm on Trip.com!).
On your way, there are gorgeous temples worth a quick visit, totally Insta-worthy and peaceful!
The national park itself is good for waterfall chasers. The walk is easy, and the friendly staff are always down to share insider tips.

Day 3:
Time to head back. You can drive to Udon Thani Airport (about 1 hour) and, if you’ve got some extra time, explore cool spots in Udon city. Don’t miss Thai restaurants on your way for some pre-flight foodie action.
Feeling adventurous? #travel on to Vientiane, Laos (just across the border!). You can catch flights from Vientiane too—Trip.com’s got your back for booking the next leg.
