Located about 30 minutes west of Chiang Khan, where the Hueang & Mekong Rivers meet, is the Skywalk, a glass bottomed walkway which elevates you about 80 meters above the landscape.

Not as high up as some more notable glass walkways, this is do-able for those with a fear of heights. Just don’t look down!

The landscape here is the real star and it is just stunning. The muddy waters of the Mekong River flow alongside the skywalk, separating Thailand from Laos. Rich green tropical hills roll away into the distance, dotted by the occasional farm or village. It’s like something out of a movie.

The skywalk is up a hill, but to getting there is by songthaew and tickets for the ride up (and back down) and access to the skywalk is only 40 baht and that price is the same for foreigners, so no farang tax, which is a rare, and welcome, thing. There are places to eat, and drink, there’s ice cream and the usual shops selling hats and t-shirts etc. They will take your photo before boarding the songthaew and you can buy these on your return. I can’t remember if it was 100 or 200m baht, either way, very cheap compared to other places.

Although it’s not too high up and not too long, it’s more than enough to take in the breath-taking landscape, and it bears repeating – the landscape is beautiful. Cinematic even. Well worth a visit if you are ever in Chiang Khan.
