Chiang Khong, Border district in Chiang Rai, Thailand.
Located on the bank of the Mekong River, Chiang Khong covers 836 square kilometers and contains seven subdistricts with 102 administrative villages.
Following the Ngiao rebellion in 1902, Shan rebels gathered around Chiang Khong until Siamese forces regained control of the demilitarized territory.
The Thai Lu community of Ban Hat Bai maintains a tradition of cotton weaving, producing high-quality textiles with intricate patterns and designs.
The Fourth Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge connects Chiang Khong to Ban Houayxay in Laos, facilitating cross-border trade and transportation between both countries.
The district houses the Chiangkhong Fishery Station, which breeds Pla Buk, the giant catfish reaching lengths of 2.5 meters and weights of 300 kilograms.
