Why go, and how to do it well

Situated along the Mekong riverside in Nong Khai, Macky's Riverside Kitchen draws visitors with its combination of a scenic waterfront setting and a straightforward, welcoming dining experience. The location on Soi Rim Khong places it close to the river, making it a natural stop for travellers exploring this laid-back border town, whether passing through on the way to Laos or spending more time in the region.

The kitchen operates as a mid-range dining option, offering meals throughout the day from early morning right through to the evening. With consistent hours across all seven days of the week, it suits a range of itineraries without the need to plan around rest days or irregular schedules. The riverside atmosphere lends a relaxed, unhurried character to meals here, which fits well with Nong Khai's generally slow-paced appeal.

Practically speaking, the address falls within Nong Khai province rather than Udon Thani city itself, so travellers should factor in the roughly 55-kilometre distance if travelling from Udon Thani. No advance booking website is listed, so visiting in person or arriving during quieter mid-week periods may be the most straightforward approach. Opening from 07:00 daily makes it a viable breakfast or early lunch option for those with morning river crossings or sightseeing plans.

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.
