dtag Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I live in Chiang Mai and am considering travelling around Isaan during an upcoming work holiday Oct 20 -28. I am loking for any suggestions on: Places to go, things to see and do- I pretty much like doing anything interesting Hotels , guesthouses Nighttime activites Best ways/ problems in getting around in the region Also I am debating wheter or not to drive down in my car or rely on other transport. Disadvantages I am seeing in driving are the chance of breakdown (have an old car) and just the distance form CM to there. So any advice on how good or not bringing the car would be I would appreciate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bergen Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Hi dtag A "must see" in lower part of Isaan is Khao Pra Wiharn, a Khmer temple from year 890, 300 years older than Ankor Wat, and with a spectacular view. Nice guesthouse nearby. I would also recommned Khong Chiam where the Mekong and Moon river meets, and the Pha Taem National park. Further north Mukdahan and Nakhon Phanom by the Mekong river - 2 small towns with various attractions, lots of souvenirs from Lao/China/Russia and great views of the Mekong.
