Looks like I may have to spend a night in Udon Thani. I'm looking for a cheap place to stay the night near the bus station but don't want to be so close to it that I'll hear the buses all night (I know there are some places to stay right in the station area, but I'm a light sleeper).

Please, no more than a few blocks away.

Second Silver Reef - It's not noisy - well - I am a tad deaf, but it's cheap too.

Agree with Silver Reef

A short samlor ride away and close to town is the RuySuk hotel/guest house - well recommended and used by many farangs , clean aircon rooms from 350 b , reastaurant /Bar etc downstairs and the manager is very friendly and speaks very good English

udontalk.com - quite a good website for info from local expats

Top mansion is near the bus station.And it's near where everythings happening.

also go to udonmap for email address phone numbers etc

I used to stay at silver reef but it has gone downhill recently, I stayed in a room on the ground floor a few months ago and the toilets stank.

I now stay at @home hotel. New and inexpensive clean rooms, very convenient location too.

Agree with Top Mansion. No breakfast of any note however. The Irish Clock is a few doors away for a great British Breakfast and nice staff if I recall.

Didn't think it was near to Bus Station but not sure only been one time.
