Udon Thani is a sizeaable commmercial city in the Northeast of Thailand, south of Nong Khai and the Mekong river on the Lao border.

The city is primarily a trading town rooted in agricultural produce, but developed rapidly during the Vietnam war when it was a a base for the US Air Force.

The city itself is not particularly interesting but the surrounding countryside and typical rural villages remain untouched and can be a facinating place to explore, with very welcoming locals.

Easily accessible on Nok Air, Air Asia and Thai Airways to UTH airport, or via train or coach.
