The current Nong Khai railway station opened in May 2000. Previously, the city's railway station was here. The place was never destroyed and was even transformed into a small museum. The old Nong Khai station also hosts a small market every Sunday from 9:30 a.m. Not the largest or most essential in Nong Khai but a nice place with a slightly retro atmosphere which has been nicknamed the
Talat Rod Fai Nong Khai (railway market) and which found under the name
Rail Market on GoogleMap.
I still have the impression that the place is losing momentum. In any case, on days without a market, it is somewhat abandoned to stray dogs who are not very welcoming, which makes its visit sometimes complicated or even impossible.
