He has also ventured into neighboring SEA countries. Obviously, his visits are somewhat fleeting in many of the places but do provide an insight into the main towns and their attractions. His vids may be of interest to some here. Paddy Doyle - YouTube He's really good. Funny with him going through Issan. He was at his wits end.

Sparktrader Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 Just now, MrJ2U said: And Udon Thani is just 45 minutes drive. Udon Thani has a lot of Universities and bustling shopping district, UD Town, Great health care facilities. I think they were expecting more business from the bridge to Nong Khai. That really never materialized. While pretty with the river there's really not much to do. Most people bypass it and head to Udon Thani or Khon Kaen. More tourists in NK than KK. KK has the best nurse training Im told. Central is for locals. 100 beers though is impressive. 98% of people in Udon Central were Thais. NK needs a theme park or something. Big waterslide world or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have alternative reviews write them. Simply writing a one line complaint helps nobody. Simply writing about a handful of towns and the way you sensed the locals felt towards you is unhelpful subjectivity. No mention of Korat, Surin, Si Sa Ket, Burirum and many more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Thai script is used. There is no 100% translation between TS and English so both Jiam and Chiam are fine. As a "local" you should know this.
