NAKHON PHANOM — Thais of Chinese and Vietnamese ancestry joined Laotians to offer alms to monks to celebrate Chinese New Year on Tuesday in the border city of Nakhon Phanom. The event took place at the city’s so-called Vietnam Memorial Clock Tower, which marks 60 years of good relations with the Vietnamese. The city has been drawing more tourists and last year saw nearly two million visit the city and province.
