Pink Mist Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Khon Kaen is great, plenty of nightlife, discos, karaoke, good food, what are you after, it's there, enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizen33 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 My rank order on an all-round assessment, admittedly on fairly limited experience, is as follows: 1. Udon 2. Ubon 3. Khon Kaen 4. Surin 5. Roi Et 6. Nong Khai 7. Buri Ram I have left out Khorat as borderline Isan, but wouldn't put it higher that KK. I'd be interested in other people's ratings. My most controversial one could be Roi Et, which in my opinion is better than most people imagine. Any nominations for 'dark horse' contenders - Yasothon, Sisaket or Sarakham may be?

Golf Course is rather good, even i dont play but most of the guys i know do, i mena it must be good (or only pne) as guys from Khemarat will play there also, and they coming almost 100km away..

citizen33 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) G'Day Wow, good list,,, but few point's from my behave.. How in earth UBON end up on the 2nd?? Where is the night life?? in town has 1 bar where farangs go and 1 pole dansing bar,, night life,, if you can call it so... Golf Course is rather good, even i dont play but most of the guys i know do, i mena it must be good (or only pne) as guys from Khemarat will play there also, and they coming almost 100km away.. Dear Marco, Obviously this is subjective, but my view is that - if you are not limited to the Farang bars - Ubon has a lot more than most people think (I won't duplicate a post I made months ago listing some of the places). In other words apart from PP's and Swing Party that you mention, there are a very large number of Thai-oriented nightlife venues - especially cafes - that will welcome farangs. Although, it isn't my scene, Ubon's five fish bowls is also more than either Udon or KK possess. The city I have explored most is KK, but I'd rather go out in Ubon. Udon I accept is better. I frankly admitted to rather limited experience, but I suspect that the experience of many posters of non-Farang nightlife venues (especially outside Udon and KK) is virtually non-existent.

Sebastienenchine Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I wrote a guide about Roi-Et and Korat...and their NIGHTLIFE. Have a look: http://sebastien.yahoo.com It's of course, my personal opinion. I lived one year in Roi-Et and have been in Korat for 2 years and a half. Enjoy Sebastien.

Lots of info here on the active forum. www.udonmap.com Have found both Sebastien's guide to RE and Udonmap.com useful in the past. I think you will see from the latter in particular that not everybody agrees that KK at number 1. You can look at the following to get the KK view: http://www.khonkaen.com/english/forum/ But actually you will see in some of the old posts that some people defected to Udon a while ago.
