Pattaya 2 Khon Kaen - ubolrat dam. This place seems little known about by farangs. A peaceful few hours can be enjoyed here. Great place for kids to swim.

From memory we aren't allowed to link to websites that have other Thai related forums. Searching for ubolrat dam at Khon Kaen.com will find it.

Found it. Thanks.

Nakhon Phanom is a small town nested at the Mekong near the border with Laos. Airasia has direct flights. It's very laid back and after few days you've seen it all. But it's nice to visit as the town hardly sees any foreigners.

Rent a bike, make a boat trip on the Mekong and visit the aquarium which shows the creatures living in the Mekong, some of them are giants!!

I second this, nice town. I liked it so much I've moved here for a bit.

Nok Air also has a daily direct flight out of Don Mueang.

Sod bugger all to do in Isaan.

Don't bother going to ubonrattana, nothing there apart from a big hole filled with water.

Nakhon Phanom is OK but sod all to do, but to try and glorify it by scribbling 'nested'on the Mekhon is just ridiculous.

Sakhon Nakhon is also an awful place.

Issan from March - November is just a large oven turned to high.

Have to agree about ubonrattana. Just a lot of water and a few restaurants selling muddy fish and farmed prawns.

Visit some big mansions built and paid for by naive farangs that were then ousted on completion.

Not sure why I'd want to see someone's house. But in case I change my mind, what's the address?

If you have kids or are young at heart, check out dino world in Khon Kaen a newly opened water park. Great fun and just up the road from tesco lotus on the other side of the road.

Go to the tourist offices in Chang Mai, Korat and Ubon Ratchathani -- they have detailed brochures about parks, wats, markets and lots of other things to do.

And eat the food! Tell them "pet mai me" if you don't like spicy, but I think the people and food here in Issan/Isarn/Isan are the best in Thailand. I swear the people here are more Thai than Bangkok -- bangkok is a huge wonderful city, but to me has become another Seoul/Singapore/Hong Kong wannabe.

No kidding.
