ALL DETAILS HERE

Day 8
Nakhon Phanom to Udon Thani - Many old friends and Acquaintances here... Ehsaan land of farmers
317kms 5:10hrs of riding

Today we will awaken by the banks of the mighty Mekong river and end it in the provincial city of Udon Thani, which will be our forward operating base for the next 3 nights.Along the way today we will ride through the spectacular Phu Phan National Park and skirt along the edge of the Nong Han Lake. It will be a great days riding ahead with plenty of sightseeing and camera opportunities..

Udon Thani is a city of around 150 000 people and has all the mod cons that we will need during our stay.The city's economy was boosted by the proximity to Udorn Royal Thai Air Force Base during the Vietnam War and retains reminders of that time in the form of bars, coffee shops, and hotels. "Udon sort of became like Pattaya when the GIs arrived," said a local architect. “Restaurants serving Western cuisine, hotels and nightclubs sprouted up everywhere to meet their needs. It was an extremely busy city back then”.Reports alleged that a Voice of America relay station in a rural area of Udon Thani Province, Ban Dung District, was a CIA black site. 

Our hotel for the next 3 nights is especially well appointed and located ; being right in the middle of the restaurant, cafe , nightlife and entertainment district of the city. You will be able to literally walk out the front lobby of the hotel and have a plethora of choices of restaurants and bars to spend your time and money in. You will be able to unload your bike and not have to reload it again for 2 days as we will be doing day rides out and returning to the hotel for the next 2 days.

Sincerely udon thani has been my favourite town, lots of smiling people, nice wine bars way better then some top notch in Bangkok or KL
plenty of good hotels in town
dont miss the tuk tuk ride cold air end of the year and biginning of year
