Is this a dumb idea?

[bignok]

Drive from Nong Khai to Koh Chang. There is Phimai and Khao Yai on the way. Phanom Rung too.

 

What else is there?

Nothing wrong with it! Go for it. If you spend a day in Khon Kaen stop over for a beer.  Kao Yai national park  after you pass Korat 

Going to the US for Christmas , just as soon as  I come back we plan to make the same trip. 

Have fun and post pictures.

Straight shot 8hr drive.

Grow some and get er' done.

 

[CharlieH]

Hell of a trip! Probably around 14hrs and close to 800 km.

 

Do it over 2-3 days and enjoy some stop overs on the way. 👍😀

Is your girlfriend in the car. Would she be excited. That might make it fun. If you've seen that area then not that exciting. Fields. Towns. Thai people. 

[bignok]

Here's another idea. GF wants to go to Nan too. So maybe KC too far. 3 week trip. The rangers told me Khao Yai is best in Dec or Jan as elephants come out of bushes more when not hot. Be in January. So Khao Yai sounds good. Phimai is easy stop. Then hunt up to Kamphaeng Phet and onto Nan the back via Kho Kor.

 

Adding a beach adds a lot of km

Sounds good except for Nan which I thought was a boring waste of time.

I agree,

Its not only the destination , enjoy the trip.

Stop often and don't be afraid to meander. 

2-3 days? why not. What's the hurry?

As I said we plan to make the same trip . so please ,please start a Thread , with things you found interesting.  and places to stay at.

Yeah its out of the way too. The views look nice but thats half a day. If drop Nan then adding a beach is more doable. The road between Pattaya and KC is pretty good. Ive done it before.

Hey man, do you want to rock n' roll? Where can you be found? Any favorite bars and times?

Fellatio on a road trip is a fine thing. The miles just roll by.  Your woman will take a good trip and make it epic.

Everyone has different interests. Nan is lovely and a favorite especially of most motorbike riders. I was there twice and plan to go again. But yes, in this case it is far away from your route and not recommended because of the distance.

Get a life. Stop trolling for once. People do road trips all over the world. Nothing to do with where you live.

Depends on the vehicle. I once drove 800 Km from Isaan to Bangkok on a 110cc motorcycle. Trip took 16 hours non stop. First 30 minutes were very enjoyable.  

 

Then we drove it back.
