Pre-Laos Isaan trip advice

[banagan]

Chiang Mai is my home. I need to head to Laos for visa stuff.

 

I'd like to check out Isaan for a week or so.

 

I've been to Udon Thani for a day, years ago, that's all I know really.

 

Just looking for a decent size city, similar to Chiang Mai, not as sleepy as Chiang Rai.

 

Some good night life ????

 

Some hilly drive spots close by would be cool.

 

Is Udon Thani the spot?

Been living in Issan for many years and Udon Thani I would say has the best falang catered night life in Issan. Khoan Kean is not bad either.

Soi Kola Surin is number 1.????
