The cable car is very small,holding 6-8 persons max and I have to admit I got a sweat in the palms of my hands whilst making the journey.
Its been out of service for about a year now,I believe.

Bought a 5ft 10mm plate glass fish tank a few years back ........ came down one morning to see the living room covered with water and not a lot left in the tank ...... TIT (thankfully enough water remained to keep the fish & inverts alive until I could get them back to the fish shop). Wouldn't trust ANYTHING made/constructed/maintained in Thailand to do what it is supposed to do

Weight rating in the article ....2500kgs or 20 people....must be rated for fat ba,tard falang,

Will assume the rescue team is stationed at the bottom ready for action and not at the top sleeping in the shade.

visited the Skywalk yesterday.. Great views to the north and northwest over the Mekong River valley. Its owned by Wat Pa Tak Suea and there is no admission.. It is located on the 800 foot ridge overlooking Ban Sangkom (Sangkok district, Nong Khai) about 90-100 kilomters west of Nong Khai here: https://www.google.co.th/maps/@18.03649 ... a=!3m1!1e3 The road up the ridge to the Wat from Route 211 (which parallels the Mekong) is clearly marked in Thai with large signs at the turn. It takes about 1 hour and a half or more to get there from Udon (Rte 2 to Rte 211 then follow to Wat turnoff). Its worth the trip if you have a shortie day trip in mind.. After doing perhaps an hour at the temple, you can drive down to Sangkom village on the Mekong river where there are a number of OK restaurants right on the river for lunch.. Google Nong Khai Skywalk for photos.. https://www.google.co.th/search?q=nong+ ... r=0.8[url][/url]

Like the view wasn't good enough from a few meters away.

Think they could have spent 17 mill on something better......oh well.

Glad I pics from there before they built it, as now it ruins the photos from both sides of it....unless you would actually want a picture of it

Frazee, the next time you ask us to spend a day it with you can you give us more notice? we need to check to make sure the views have not changed, all structures built in the last 10 years are safe for Farangs, all roads we will travel are adequately paved and our insurance is paid up. We will need at least 72 hours to consult with 12345 and allow adequate time for his research and responses. Thank you for your consideration.
