Nakhon Phanom, Province in northeastern Thailand
The province spans 5,637 square kilometers along the Mekong River, forming a natural boundary with Laos through fertile riverside lands and agricultural plains.
During the Vietnam War, the province contained military bases that supported operations against North Vietnamese forces crossing through neighboring territories.
The province maintains strong connections with Laotian traditions, reflected in the local food preparation methods and the practice of traditional Phu Thai ethnic dances.
The Third Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge connects the provincial capital to Thakhek in Laos, while Route 212 provides access to major cities including Udon Thani.
The province features the Phra That Phanom pagoda, a structure first built in 535 BCE and reconstructed in 1675 following Laotian architectural principles.
