Bueng Kan
This little town on the Mekong River in northeastern Thailand's Isan region, sitting directly across the water from the Laotian town of Pakxan — making it a natural stop for travellers moving between the two countries. The surrounding province is para rubber country, and the river provides the dominant geography for the town itself.
