tartempion Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 not much to see at Bang Chiang archaeological site, I live 8kms from the place. You missed the yearly festival there last we anyway. It's difficult to get to also. Udon Thani has it's new night spots: Day & Night and Nutty Park. Lots of sleeping places (hotels, guest houses) Visit Udon Map forum for info. CTO discovered a nice whorehouse near Sawan Daen Din 70kms East of Udon, SDD has a nice resort, 600B/night and I could drive you up there if you fancy a night out in the boondocks ( I live half way) or we could have a beer or two downtown Udon. Pm me if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
