Jom Jangจอมเเจ้ง
Skip unless you have a car and want a 2-hour stop for Mekong views and OTOP snacks; not worth a dedicated trip from Nong Khai.
Jom Jang is a small Mekong-side village 18 km east of Nong Khai, known for its OTOP women's group and seasonal sunflower fields. There is one noodle shop and a homestay. Most travellers see everything in under an hour and move on.
