About Vietnamese Memorial Clock Tower
The Vietnamese Memorial Clock Tower is a 50-meter-high clock tower on the Mekong River promenade in Nai Mueang, Mueang Nakhon Phanom, northeastern Thailand. Built in 1960 by the local Vietnamese community to express gratitude for Thai hospitality during their refuge, it is a prominent city landmark and symbol of Thai-Vietnamese friendship. The four-faced tower stands at a central roundabout overlooking the Mekong River and the Laos riverbank.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect an open, paved plaza and roundabout centered on a tall, slender clock tower with four clock faces near the Mekong River promenade. The site is outdoors and freely accessible, surrounded by the riverfront walkway, road, and nearby shops and restaurants. Visitors can view the tower up close, take photographs, enjoy Mekong River views toward Laos, and see the tower illuminated at night. The area is often combined with a stroll along the promenade and the weekend walking street.
