Sofa Gallery

4.1(127 reviews)

Sofa Gallery is a lodging option situated in Nong Khai, a laid-back border town on the banks of the Mekong River in northeastern Thailand. Though listed under the Udon Thani region, the property sits within Nong Khai province, making it a convenient base for travellers looking to explore the town's riverside promenade, the iconic Sala Kaew Ku sculpture park, and the nearby border crossing into Vientiane, Laos. Guests can expect a relaxed, approachable atmosphere in keeping with Nong Khai's unhurried character. The hotel maintains a solid reputation among visitors, reflecting a consistent standard of comfort and hospitality that suits both short stays and longer stopovers. The property is open around the clock, which is practical for travellers arriving on cross-border journeys or late-night buses from Udon Thani or Bangkok. Good to know: Nong Khai is a relatively small town, and accommodation fills up during festivals such as the Naga Fireball Festival in October, so booking ahead during these periods is advisable. The hotel's Facebook page serves as its primary online presence, so travellers should check there for current room availability, pricing, and any updated contact details before arrival. Udon Thani International Airport is the nearest major airport, roughly an hour's drive away, making the town accessible for those flying into the region.
