  • It's my last 48 hours here in Udon Thani, Thailand, and I wanted to take you along with me on my chill day adventure! Udon Thani is a super laid-back town, and I totally dig that vibe. Today, I'm just cruising around on my motorcycle, taking in the sights. First stop: the Chinese - Thai museum, where I'm checking out some cool history about Udon Thani. Then, I head back to the main park to soak in the relaxing atmosphere.

    Hey Wayne. I've lived now in Chiang Mai for 13 years, but lived in Udon Thani for two and a half years before that. Nice city , friendly people, very few tourists. Yes, I like living in CM more, but have fond memories of Udon too.

    • @WalkAboutWayne
      @WalkAboutWayne  10 месяцев назад +1

      Nice one Mike, nice to hear from someone who has lived in both. Udon is one of the Most chilled cities I've been. It doesn't have the charm of Chiang Mai, but it could be a great option for me in the future. Not so touristy, like you mentioned. Udon seems like a nice quiet life.

    Udon Thani close proximity to Nong Khai (1hr drive), Meekong River, Laos Freindship Bridge, beyond Vientiane, creates international tourism on a smaller scale. Scenic drive up the Meekong to Chiang Khan, really worth seeing Wayne, great vlog dude!

    The mascot of Udon Thani being a duck, particularly the "Ped Udon," is based on the region's fame for its delicious duck dishes. Udon Thani is well-known in Thailand for its duck recipes, which are considered a local specialty (thanks ChatGPT!)

    • @WalkAboutWayne
      @WalkAboutWayne  10 месяцев назад +1

      I knew one of you would come through. Good ol' ChatGPT 🤣. There was another place I went to in Thailand that had Ducks too. I can't remember where though.

    Just a Heads up on those Skylab bike motors, even before you drive/ride it,
    1. Drain the oil check for metal fragments/filings (Swarf),
    2. Flush the motor with a mix of Diesel and cheap oil.
    3. flush that Diesel/oil out with a thin oil then top up with quality oil.
    4. ride for a 30min to a hour.
    5. drain the oil check for Swarf again if there is none top up again with good oil and it should be good, if it still has Swarf, Swear a lot and drain, top up again etc etc.
    i had a "Chonda" (stationary motor) on my Horizontal Bandsaw that i used to Slab Timber Logs, used the above method with great results.

    3:00 - yeah, Rimping Market (like the one at Maya) is a good comparison. I did go in and have a look around.. I enjoyed walking around the area. Yeah, I walked through that park, too. The area around the railroad tracks to the north was REALLY interesting. I actually walked across several of the tracks (which was probably illegal but I saw quite few locals doing it.. 😅). 8:00 - yeah, a lot of Chinese crossed over into Northern Thailand (including Chiang Mai and Issan) to escape from the communists in 1950 or so. Most of the Muslims in Chiang Mai are ethnic Chinese, which explains why the large mosque near the Night Market has a big sign in Chinese in front of it. The Thaksins (who come from Chiang Mai) are also ethnic Chinese.
