One of Chiang Khan's main attractions is the banks of the Mekong, arguably Asia's most famous river. Beautifully landscaped with wooden walkways and railings, the river promenade offers a magnificent setting for strolls and enjoying the breathtaking sunsets over the river. Laos lies on the opposite bank of the Mekong. It, too, is a beautiful spot at sunrise, although the natural spectacle is often less spectacular than at sunset.

Note that there is a beautiful cycle path that runs along the river to the Kaeng Khut Khu rapids.

The riverbank can be reached from Chai Khong Road at the end of Soi 21, or via several smaller access points between the houses in Chai Khong Road, or at the level of Wat Si Khun Muang in Chai Kong Road.
