[fishhooks]

Anyone have knowledge of this route and if there are good quality bus's doing it?

By the map, looks like might be a scenic drive through the mountains?

Not really so much in the way of "mountains" via the Wang Saphun route then east through Nong Bua Lamphu to Udorn and up to Nong Khai. Fast drive, tho.

Via the river route, much better, "hills" and mountain views, curvy road, my preferred routing. "Tour: buses on this route? Don't know.
