Your treatment in your Vlogs is always light hearted and kind Wayne. Hard to avoid the unstable sometimes. No worries Mate! Thanks for this one. Udon Thani has some amazing natural wonders as you get out of the city and head east. I always thought that Udon had a similar feel to Chiang Mai on a smaller scale. Thanks for bring us along!

Udon's actually quite a bit bigger than the area around the train station. There's a really big lake with huge rubber ducks on it, which is a popular picnic spot, for instance.. There's also a bit of a shopping area south of the train station. The bike would be quite useful for just exploring the town. I walked around myself, but it would have been easier with a bike I imagine.

Fun facts for this little town. During the Vietnam War the Airport, (then known as Udorn Royal Thai Air Base) was where US fighter planes launched from for missions into Vietnam. Also in 2006, 400 skydivers formed the world’s largest freefall formation with 400 skydivers in the skies over Udon Thani.. As usual Wayne, nice vlog.
