Why go, and how to do it well
Chai Khong Restaurant sits in Nong Khai, just across the Mekong River from Laos, making it a convenient dining stop for travelers exploring this laid-back border town. The restaurant occupies a spot along the Kaeo Worawut Road and draws a steady local and visitor crowd with its accessible pricing and consistent hours throughout the week.
Open every day from 10:00 to 22:00, the restaurant offers a full day of dining across both lunch and dinner, which suits travelers working around ferry crossings, temple visits, or a day trip from nearby Udon Thani, roughly an hour to the south. The mid-range price point makes it a practical choice for those looking to eat well without overspending.
Travelers should note that the restaurant is listed under a Nong Khai address despite sometimes appearing in Udon Thani regional directories, so confirming the location before heading out is worthwhile. Those planning to visit during peak evening hours or on weekends may find it busier with local diners. The Facebook page listed on the directory is the best place to check for any updates to the menu or seasonal changes before arriving.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
Use Grab for Delivery
The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
