About one hour and an half(90mins) via AC bus, cost Bt180. A cab will set you back about BT3000, if you are lucky. Nice 4 lane road.

No meter taxis available in Khon Kaen or Udon Thani, in KK tuktuks, in Udon skylabs

Private minivans, depending if a Thai can book for you or not, 500-3000 baht.

Best bet: Bus services, airco and non airco from the bus station.

Cost: 100-245 baht

Time for 125 km, depending on which company, 1,5-2,5 hours

Train service, a few trains in the evening and by day.

Cost, depending on class, airco or fan.

There are a lot hotels in Khon Kaen, priced reasonable.

Fid yourself one a little outside the centre or off the main roads and streets, much more reasonable priced!

Nightlife?

Around Kosa hotel!

In these economic times, the nightlife will start to bloom, I guess

Visit Fairy Plaza or Tukcom for meeting people (Hello darling?), or even Tesco or Big C!

A lot of bars to be found with offerings around lake Bueng Kennakorn, ask any Tuktuk driver.

Per ride 60 baht max, 100 in the night, anywhere within Khon Kaen.

Try to find a farang who knows the score, nr 1 Bar, Cheap Charlie, Eric's and so on.

I got away with a lot less for a taxi earlier this year. I think I paid 1,000 or maybe 1,500 from an original asking price of 2,000. Cr*p car but I am sure it look less than hour to KK.

It is 120 kms from the edge of Udon to Kohn Kaen...That was a fast taxi...

Say there, Blighty,
