An introduction to Mukdahan

Mukdahan is the 73rd province of Thailand. Its history dates from the late Ayutthaya period, over 200 years ago. At first, on the left side of the Mekong River and there was a large community called Ban Luang Phon Sin located by Phrathat Ing Hang, in Savannakhet Province of Lao PDR. The community was ruled by Chao Chan Suriyawong. His son was Chao Kinnari. He later built a new town at the mouth of Huai Muk on the right bank of the Mekong River in 1767. The town was completed in 1770 and named "Mukdahan" (moonstone or pearl) according to a propitious sign occurring to him while the town was under construction. That is why the local residents call the town "Mueang Muk".

Mukdahan is a gateway to other Indochinese countries. The local people of Mukdahan have had a long relationship with the people in Savannakhet Province of Laos, although they are separated by the Mekong River. Mukdahan is home to 8 ethnic minorities: (Thai) Isaan, Phu (Thai), (Thai) Kha, Kraso, (Thai) Kaloeng, (Thai) Yo, (Thai) Saek, and (Thai) Kula. Its 4,400 km² has abundant natural beauty.

Roughly 4 kilometers north of each city's centre and the Second Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge connects Mukdahan with the Lao city of Savannakhet on the opposite side of the Mekong River. There is a regular bus connection between the cities; a one-way ticket costs 100 Baht. While there is no formal bus stop at either end of the bridge, passengers need to disembark for the border formalities on both sides; hence in training it's feasible to buy a ticket and board the bus on the border if you've arrived there by other means.

There is a vehicle park on the Mukdahan side of the bridge, one night's parking costs 100 Baht. With the correct paperwork it's feasible to drive your vehicle over to Laos. There are no pedestrian lanes on the bridge.

Visa-on-arrival is available at the border post for those nationalities that require one (see the article on Laos for more details). Additionally and the Lao border officials charge an "entry fee" (80-270 Baht), "exit fee" (70 Baht) and after 16:00, an "overtime fee" (70 Baht) for stamping one's passport.
