Overnight stay on way to Udon

[tlcwaterfall]

I travel to Udon Thani area regularly from Surin. Am now finding the drive to be taxing and am looking for a place to stay overnight other than Khon Kaen.

 

Would ideally like to stay in a nice town with some nightlife and  have no more than say 200kms to drive the next day.

 

Trip from Surin to Udon is around 400kms.

 

Any helpful suggestions are much appreciated.

Do you take the route thru Roi Et? It has a couple falang hangouts in the town center.

Have stayed there before and  ate and drank at the White Elephant.  Not sure if i got that name right.  Great place and great food too. And a nice hotel nearby.

 

Did not know there was another Falang hangout. Where is this other one please?

There are two next to each other. They are on moat circle road. Can't remember their names, one was American owned, the other I think was French.

If you take a route that goes thru Khon Kaen, you are only 110 kms from Udon. There is a falang bar very close to the Novotel hotel.

I have stayed at Khon Kaen many times. Looking for somewhere different.

You will be struggling IMO. 400 clicks aint a big drive and even though Isaan may be, the head of the river so to speak, outside of Udon there are no significant falang hangouts anywhere in the NE in my experience

As mentioned in my op I am finding the drive taxing so an overnight stay will make it easier for me.

 

Agree with your assessment and will most likely have a night in Roiet or Kalasin.

 

Appreciate your help.

Why do you want to go to Udon? There are so many other choices to hang out. I do like the idea of Roi Et.

What are the other choices?
