Udon Thani

May 2024

Udon Thani is located in northeastern Thailand (Isaan), not far from the border with Laos. You can fly there; from Bangkok, it takes about an hour.

The city is best known for the American airbase located there during the Vietnam War. Today, many expatriates still live there.

Udon Thani's central nightlife area is located in and around Soi Samphan Thamit.

Day & Night is a beer bar complex in Soi Samphan Thamit.

Central Plaza is a big shopping center – close to the night life area.

The train station is also within walking distance of the night life area.

I've had a great time in Udon Thani. Next to the night market is Nutty Park,  which has a number of bars and usually some lovely ladies.

If you are into history the archeological site at Ban Chiang is well worth a visit.

Udon Thani is the traffic quietest major city I have visited in Southeast Asia. Cars and motorcycles don't even run red lights 😀

The shopping center, Central Plaza

Not far from the shopping center are the bus station – sometimes with freelancers hanging around in the neighborhood
