oxo1947 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) The Centre hotel is the most upmarket hotel in Udon--its near new with Swimming pool / gym/ spa's /massage & private entrance to the 5 floors of shopping centre it is attached to-- and it will set you back a whopping 900--1,000 baht a day..(you should get 5 star Brekie thrown in for that) .yes you are in a different world from BKK here. There are many other Hotels in Udon City around the 300+ baht mark. I could be wrong JM but I do not think there are that many Gay farang type bars here-There is The Boyzone Bar -- -then just a few gay-Thai bars, also with L-Boys etc they seem just to be spread around the normal bars---again Udon isn't noted for its night life. There are some stunning looking young Lao & Thai girls here at a fraction of the BKK price, but I guess I may be preaching to the unconverted there. A suggestion may be to join one of those free dating sites "Date in Asia" etc-- you may meet a friend and a guide if you just target the Udon area on it, but be careful like most issan towns Udon has a population of around 400K + (2000 censor) but a catchment area area of over 3 million people---so I come from Udon Thani may mean yes only 40 miles out of the town. Centre Hotel...... Oops they took the Picture away....... there also is a local site which you may have more luck getting info from---I do not think they will let me post the link here Edited January 24, 2017 by oxo1947 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way it is the Centara Hotel and Convention Center. Edited January 25, 2017 by dominator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartempion Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Charoen hotel *** central location, small swimming pool, 1200B/nigth up ask for New wing, maybe more expensive, have disco at the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siam2007 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 CENTARA Hotel is indeed your best bet as it is right next to the Central Mall and in the middle of the action. Cost could be around 1.400 - 1.700 Baht if there is no convention (very popular with gvernment agencies) at that time, but usually the BF will not be included for that price. The Centara has a decent pool. Keep in mind that the cheapest standard rooms do not have a window! I strongly disagree with the CHAROEN hotel, unless you are an insect scientist on a research trip, be it new wing or not. There is another new good hotel very close to the railway station and as such very close to the Central Mall too, which got good reviews. It is called KAVINBURI GREEN HOTEL and rooms can be had for under 1.000 THB usually, excluding breakfast. Excellent location and got great reviews. Same cn be said for the slightly more expensive and frequently fully booked PANNARAI HOTEL which is right on the Farang-strip on Sampanthamit Road (and just a few Meters away from Central Mall as well). These three should be your best options f you r willing to spend a few Baht more. Just check the reviews on the usual booking websites such as agoda, booking.com or expedia, as well as TA reviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malt25 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 My recommendation would be http://www.kavinburi.com/ Check it out on Booking.com Service & location first class. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
