  • Visiting UDON THANI city has been the MOST FRIENDLY 48 hours of my travels across Thailand so far. Living here is also surprisingly CHEAP!
    Is UDON THANI Thailand's MOST LIVEABLE CITY!? Let's investigate!
    From the Bolt taxi drivers who spoke English and showed enthusiastic curiosity in chatting to me as a western tourist, to the shop keepers, the pharmacists I visited while searching for medication, to the Thai people I met on the street, at the Udon Backpackers Arts & Craft Fair, and in the bars and MARS nightclub - the warmth was PALPABLE!
    If there was an ocean here by Udon Thani city - I'd live here IN A HEARTBEAT.
    Watch until the end for a never-before aired insight into Udon Thani's SUPER club - MARS! You won't be disappointed!
    At the end of the Udon Thani tour I provide updates about the motor scooter and plans for the coming month :)

    When I was a elementary schooler (in the 80s) Udonthani was nicknamed "Sa-Udonthani." Because back in the 80s, Thailand's Esaan region was very poor and hugh number of people in Udonthani went to Saudi Arabia looking for work. Now Udonthani is one of the largest thriving province in Thailand. Actually major provinces in Thailand are all thriving.

Everyone loves to drink at this fantastic night club. I definitely want to meet this sexy beauty singer in the tight red pants, tight black top and cherry lips (( time stamp 14;23 )) I would absolutely try my absolute best, if the people are as nice as you say, then I should be able to.

      Whilst I filmed the gruelling 12 hour bus trip from Chiang Mai to Udon Thani, then a Visa run to Vientiene, then a hair razing 14 hour bus trip back to Chiang Mai. None of it made for good viewing, as is the nature of a lot of travel.
