Udon Thani Uncovered

An independent guide to Udon Thani province in North-East Thailand.

Udon Thani is a really rewarding province to explore. You will find a completely different Thailand to the usual tourist centres, but without sacrificing anything in terms of comfort or facilities.

This guide focuses on places beyond the usual tourist trail — from well-known highlights such as the Red Lotus Lake and Ban Chiang, to lesser-known temples, landscapes and villages rarely mentioned in guidebooks.

Written by a long-term visitor with family ties to the region, this guide is for curious travellers who want to explore Isan at their own pace and see a more everyday side of Thailand.

The guide is a work in progress – come back to explore updates.
