As a small outpost of Thailand at the border to Laos on the banks of the Mekong River, Chiang Khong seems to be a meaningless place without any tourist attractions or reasons to stay for a tourist or traveller. There are mountains, plains and the big Mekong River. Tourists only go through here on the way to Laos and further then to Vietnam and Cambodia.
Chiangrai International Marathon will be held on July 9,2017 at Chiang Khong Boundary Post in Chiangrai province.
