Workation in Thakhek: the essentials
Thakhek, capital of Khammouane Province, looks across the Mekong at Nakhon Phanom in Thailand, and since 2011 the Third Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge has linked the two. French colonial villas and shopfronts remain in the old centre, along with traces of an abandoned railway that was meant to reach Vietnam. In 1943 about 85 percent of the town's people were Vietnamese, brought in under French policy. Most visitors come for the Thakhek Loop, a multi-day motorbike route through karst country that leads toward Kong Lor Cave. The closest airport, Nakhon Phanom, is on the Thai side, about 20 km away, so a border crossing comes first.
