Mukdahan
A compact riverside town in Thailand's northeastern Isaan region, Mukdahan sits on the west bank of the Mekong River facing Laos, with a café and restaurant scene concentrated close to the water. It serves as the capital of Mukdahan Province, established in 1982, and lies within reach of mountain terrain. The Mekong frontage gives the town its character, and the border setting draws independent travellers passing between Thailand and Laos.
