There are buses from all directions to Nong Khai. Overnight "VIP" bus services leave from Bangkok in the evening and take about ten hours to get here. From Chiang Mai there is an overnight bus service which arrives in Udon Thani in the morning...from Udon Thani to Nong Khai takes approximately one hour.
There are regular bus services along the Maekong River on highway 211 from the west, via Loei, Chiang Khan, Pak Chom, and then (as shown on map below) Sang Khom, Sri Chiang Mai and Tha Bo. Also, there are regular services along the riverbank from the East via Bung Khan and then (as shown on map) Phon Phisai to Nong Khai.
As can be seen from the map Udon Thani is very close (54 km) and there are regular services every twenty or thirty minutes during the daytime. 
By Train:From Bangkok there are four trains a day; at 06.42, 19.25, 20.00 and 20.45. The best train is at 20.00 and takes 10 hours, the others take about 30 minutes to an hour longer.these trains can be caught in udon thani to nong khai with the journey being painfully slow but if your in right frame of mind it can be a very pleasant journey to nong khai and maybe on to Laos if the line gets finished
There are very good sleeping cars on these trains which cost about 480 Baht You even get clean starched sheets and a pillow!
