Thailand's capital city, Bangkok, can be found about 520 kilometres to the southwest of Nam Thiang.
If you head 25 kilometres east from Nam Thiang, you'll find Mukdahan. Some travellers like to use this place as a base when going to Mukdahan Provincial Courthouse and Mukdahan Municipal Park.
Whether you enjoy the stylishness of Michelin stars or nibbling on a simple street snack, sampling the local food and drink is one of the most amazing things about travel. So why not give your taste buds a treat by tucking into some of the region's delicious offerings?
Once you grab a table and thumb through a menu at a restaurant, you'll soon realise that dill and sticky rice are some ingredients commonly used in local cooking.
Ask a local for a meal suggestion and tom saep (hot and sour meat soup) will likely be the first thing they mention. Koi pla (spicy raw fish salad) is another iconic local food you might like to sample.
More experienced travellers will usually make time to learn a couple of words in the local tongue. You'll find that being able to interact with the local people isn't just useful, it's a lot of fun! First off the bat, have a go at saying 'Raa-kaa tâo rài?'. This translates as 'how much is this?'. Perhaps you'll find 'Kun chêu a-rai ?' easier to get your head around? This means 'what's your name?'.
Intend to be here around the 5th of December? You're in luck. On this date, the entire nation joins together to celebrate Birthday of King Phumiphon.
Like all good things, your trip to Nam Thiang must eventually come to an end. When it's time to pack up your belongings and leave, say a last "Laa gòn ná" and spend your remaining holiday allowance on some unique keepsakes.
Flying out? Choose a route, pack up your suitcase and set an alarm. The nearest airport, Siem Reap International Airport (REP), is just 360 kilometres to the south.
