Chiang Khong

Down-river 70 kilometers (40 miles) from Chiang Saen is the small town of Chiang Khong. Although part of a kingdom established 1,300 years ago, there is little to be seen in Chiang Khong. The town's main claim to fame is as a port for goods headed to or from China, as well as a crossing point for entry to Laos.
