Hi all, looks like I may be in udon Thani for two nights back end of November, looked at plenty of hotels but didn’t fancy anything too near the bars ( I read the reviews of a few hotels and they mostly complained that the noise from the bars was an issue) I’m looking at the centara hotel as it’s near the shopping centre and not to close to the bars…but regarding the bars I did look at a few on line like the ‘brick house’ and the ‘Aussie bar’ interested in having a few beers and some western food and probably grab an English breakfast or two..so, any recommendations regarding bars and western food and any idea if you can get draught beers in the bars and what the prices are.

sorry if this has all been done to death before, looking forward to some recommendations.

many thanks for any help.

The Centara Hotel Udon Thani is really dated.  It's virtually attached to the mall which is really nice.

 

Pannarai Hotel is very good and across the street from the brick house and next door to the pub, both are popular and very good.

 

The Pannarai's rooms pool side (306/406 is great) are quiet despite being next door to the bar beer area.  Great location, parking making it a preferred hotel for our family.  UD Town is just down the street, lots of restaurants and shopping.  (Also brand new hotel within UD Town, 4 star).

 

UD Town is a great place for a break, enjoy yourself!

Western food is good at The Good corner opposite the Kavinburi hotel. I've just booked the new Banbua hotel which gets excellent reviews. Pannerai is also a good hotel.

It's really cool because there is so many hotels for every budget. 

 

Beautiful girls everywhere, you'll strain your neck before your wife can. 

 

Udon Thani is one of my favorites cities.

 

Great airport, flies virtually everywhere in Thailand.

Often stayed at the Old Inn, 5th or 6th floor suite with balcony to the road.

Nice big room (32 sqm) with a good view. Does not cost a fortune. Other rooms can be quite small and dark.

Noise from the bars?

Never felt as a problem.

Can sleep with open balcony door.

So far from the excessive noise in Pattaya.

I'm aware of flights to Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket.

 

Where else  can you fly to from Udon?

I believe to there is a few more.

 

I enjoyed flying into Hua Hin and U-tapo until they discontinued those.

 

even flying into Phuket lately its a layover in Bangkok for a few hours.

 

Still great for Issan!

So, much the same as Khon Kaen and Buriram airports?

As written there are no other flights currently.

And Phuket with AirAsia is a nonstop. Not daily probably.

Khon Kaen

Khon Kaen airport rarely has flights to anywhere, unfortunately.  Runway is too short. 

 

.... Who wants to go to Burriram?  Last time I was there I couldn't get away fast enough. 

 

Udon Thani is a great City.  But that's my opinion.  I enjoy good food, nice hotels, and beautiful women.

 

The excellent airport was just a side note.  They even have a lounge for priority members.

Thai smile has been our domestic carrier of choice. 

Mine too. But none of the last three flights was in time. One rescheduled three hours before planned departure. Heaven thanks I didn't need a connection.

Last flight back home was "only" 35 min late. Hope they get in trail again

KK flies to CM. KK is much better than Udon. Udon is one the worst in the whole country. Real slimey atmosphere, looks like a big drug problem there.

Same all over Thailand. 300 baht to 20,000 baht.

Your always staying in dumps.

 

300 baht is about your limit.  Wherever you stay you couldn't enjoy it.  Probably sheets covered in feces and squat toilets.

Best thing about Udon, the airport out of there. Go somewhere decent instead.

You don't know squat.

 

All your reports of travel are places not even a dog would sleep.

 

Report back when you actually stay in a nice hotel.

 

Ugh!
