Does anyone know anything about a town called Nong Bua Lamphu, and surrounding area. All I know so far is that it that it is almost mid-way between Udon Thani and Loei, and some details about near by attractions. I would like to know more about the town, and area.

I live about 40 km out from nongbaulamphu it is a small place but I think it would be the largest town along the road road from Khon Kean to Udon. There is a hotel there that is suppost to be ok with good monthly rates there is also a farang that has a massarge palour. Large food market and alot of shops selling every thing from cars to home hardware. I have never seen a place that sells western food but there are a couple of places that sell good Thai food and nice cold beer around the lake. I did hear that they were going to build a big C or tesco there soon and I think the town is going to start to boom soon as they are building a lot of homes there at the moment.

Other than that dont know much about it except last time I walked down the street a Tuk tuk driver tried to give me his pretty daughter

Sound pretty good to me, I'll not worry about the food I've become quite partial to Thai food. I'll be visiting the area in January so it's nice to have a little bacck ground information about the place.

Thanks Neil

Where you from neil and how long will you be in Nongbaulamphu for if you give me some details I am sure I can point you in the right direction

Actually it is the province between Udorn and Loei, as well as being the name of the city, so it covers a wide area.

Thanks guys, g/f is from area, she has just moved back with parents, about 20km NW af city as far as I can gather. This morning she booked hotel for us for my visit on 3 January. I am just trying to get a feel for the area before visit but language difficulties mean info from g/f a bit limited. From what I've heard and read so for sounds like a suitable place for me.

Thanks Neil
