Phon Phisai

Phon Phisai is an administrative district in Nong Khai Province that extends over a large area comprising several sub-districts. The area borders the Mekong River and contains numerous villages along with a central administrative hub.

The district was established in 1906 following a separation from a neighboring administrative area. This split allowed the formation of an independent local administration along the Mekong.

The district is home to several Buddhist temples that shape religious life here. Local people gather throughout the year for traditional ceremonies that give these places their meaning.

The district has a central administrative hub that serves as the main point of reference and is divided into several sub-districts. Visitors can explore different areas, with most services and commerce concentrated in the main center.

The area forms an important border region with neighboring Laos, connecting to local communities across the river. This location makes it a striking point for understanding regional ties along the Mekong.
