Chiang Khan, District on the Mekong River bank in Loei, Thailand
Chiang Khan extends over 867 square kilometers of land along the Mekong River, with traditional wooden houses lining the waterfront promenade.
The district developed as a river trading center until 1975 when the political changes in Laos disrupted cross-border commerce and decreased economic activities.
Morning alms ceremonies occur daily between 6 and 8 AM, where residents present food offerings to Buddhist monks walking through the streets.
The district contains eight sub-districts divided into 82 villages, with three municipal areas holding town status: Chiang Khan, Khao Kaeo, and That.
The Chiang Khan Skywalk features glass platforms suspended above the confluence point where the Mekong and Huang rivers merge.
