One of the nicer parks I have seen in the country. Good that it has a theme. However needs more trees for shade in the late afternoon. Gets quite sunny. Park facilities are basic. If only there is a jogging-friendly connection link to the other parks nearby ...

Best Park in Udon Thani – Great for Everyone! This is hands down the best park in Udon! The atmosphere is amazing — peaceful, green, and full of life. You'll find people of all ages enjoying different activities here: from cycling, jogging, and football to group dance practices and more. There are exercise machines available for free, making it a great spot to work out. If you're just looking to relax, you can sit by the water and enjoy the cool breeze — it's incredibly refreshing. The park is also very family-friendly. There's a separate, safe area with swings and playgrounds just for kids, so parents can relax while their children play. What makes it even better is that there are cafes and restaurants nearby, so you can grab a coffee or a bite to eat before or after your visit. Overall, it’s a perfect place to chill, exercise, or spend time with friends and family. Highly recommended for locals and visitors!!!

I love this park. I walk around the lake every day and feel relaxed while getting some exercise. Its beautifully maintained. It has both bike and jogging lanes. Its teaming with wildlife from fish in the lake to turtles and frogs. A very pleasant place to walk or bike around.

We love to come to Nong Prajak Park! There are so many ways you can spend your time here. The sunset over the lake is beautiful. We love to walk or bike around the park on the paths. Our kids love the vast array of playgrounds and work-out equipment. The bridges are fun and pretty.

Really nice clean park in the centre of the city. Gardens are very well maintained. Has cycle and walking paths connecting all of the islands. Good place to go for a stroll and relax for a few hours with children. Bicycles can be rented nearby for cheap prices. There's a stall selling food to feed the birds and fish in the lake.

Tranquil lake with the famous Udon Thani ducks, although on our visit in early march they had been removed from the water to the lakeside - still a great photo op. At normal walking speed you can walk around the lake in around 1-hour, there's also option to jog and a dedicated cycle lane. Lots of food, drink, manicure and massage options around the perimeter. If you visit it in a weekend evening, you can combine with a visit to the large Udon Thani Weekend Night Market, with a huge variety of food, drink, new & vintage clothing, electronics etc.

Great place to chill. It’s huge with lots of spot to unwind and relax. They have nice suspension bridges too which is very perfect for walking and photo ops. I love this park.

This was our last stop on our family’s long weekend to Thailand, and it was easily my favorite. I was looking to fill a gap before going back to Laos. But this was one of the cleanest, well kept parks I’ve been to in Isaan. Only an hour from Nong Khai. We got there at 3:30 and it closes at 4:30. They were nice enough to give us an extra 30 minutes at the front desk. We hustled and still managed to see 19 out of the 27 landmarks. Leave yourself 3 hours to not feel rushed.

A little slippery when it has been rainy but worth the effort! Stunning rock formations and prehistoric hand paintings. Beautiful walk and helpful guides at various points. If elderly or disabled they will take you on a golf cart to get closer to the natural sites and ancient ruins.

When I arrived at the entrance office and purchased the entry ticket, a guide was allocated to me and provided with a detailed map of the area. If you are not keen on walking too much, they also provide electric buggies to reach the main area. But walking is essential if you want to visit other areas within the park. Short after entering this Unesco World Heritage site, you feel like you have entered to an ancient world with unusual rock formations created by erosions occurred millions of years ago. Although some of the paintings on the rocks are faded but can best be seen where some rocks have formed a natural shelter. Around these rocks, there are religious shrines with mostly Buddhist influence. You can see Sīma stones which are boundary markers for sacred areas of Buddhist activities. It is believed that this area has been inhabited since prehistoric times, about 2,500 to 3,000 years ago. My guide (Supannee) was very professional, knowledgeable and patient. She was very kind and took time to explain me details and history of various sites

A perfect afternoon/evening walk until closing, chill lil hike in the rainforest, if ure lucky, they bring u a bit indide ;) All ages, bring water and a hat.

Excellent archeological UNESCO site, well worth a visit. I had a cab take me out there from Nong Khai and wait, whilst I walked around by myself (organised by my hostel). The taxi was 1800 Baht flat fee for one person, or 2000 for three people (negotiable). I left at 9am and arrived back in Nong Khai by 1:30pm. The taxi was definitely worth the money. 400 baht p/h for transport and a driver is standard, with fuel included. Mr Winai also drove me to Udon Thani airport. He’s reliable and punctual, but doesn’t speak English. I would not recommend going by scooter as it is too far (60km and about a 2 hr ride), and online maps will probably not work out there. The site opens at 8:30, and I am glad I got there in the morning. This is not a place to visit on a really hot day (over 35), or in the afternoon. It is a not a busy tourist site. The walk around is easy (some stairs), but not wheelchair accessible. Kids over 5 would be fine. Plenty of signage and staff around, and you get a map with your 100 baht entry fee. Give yourself 2-3 hours, more if you want to go to the viewing platform, or walk the entire park. The little restaurant on the side of the carpark has noodles for 50 baht (with an English menu), which is where I stopped and had a nice lunch after the walk.

This is a significant historical and religious site in Udon Thani, known for its natural beauty and spiritual importance. 🅿️ The parking area is spacious, making it easy to visit even on busy days. 📍 A new information center is clean, well-managed, and provides clear brochures, maps, and helpful guidance — all for just 20 THB per person. 🚘 There are golf carts available for elderly visitors, which is a thoughtful touch. 🌿 The entire site is very well maintained, with clean walking paths and detailed signs at each point of interest. 🪨 The rock formations at Phu Phra Bat are impressive and awe-inspiring. Every area is clean, accessible, and clearly marked. 🪑 Benches are placed thoughtfully along the walking route, perfect for those who need a break. The benches are new and very clean, adding to the comfort of the visit. ☀️ Best enjoyed on a clear weather day to fully appreciate the natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere.

It’s a beautiful 2-3 hours walk and many cool historical sites

The atmosphere was good. When we came, the weather was good, the sky was overcast, not too hot. We arrived in the morning, there weren't many people yet. You can feed the elephants and various animals. There is a restaurant, coffee, and activities to do, you can easily spend time here at least 1-3 hrs including lunchtime. Recommend coming when the weather isn't too hot. On weekend afternoons, there are a lot of people. Have a goo day all 😊🌠

Visited on October 28th. Mostly sunny sky, beautiful weather. I parked in front of the ticket office at 7:40. There are also toilets. To see the red lilies you need to take a boat. Small boat for 2 persons 300B, boat up to 6 persons 500B. When i gave the 300B, the nice lady at the cashier returned me 100B, maybe because i was alone. A very honest behaviour, unusual in the tourism business. The boat ride to the area where lilies are took about 10 minutes at a relaxed pace Then the boat man entered slowly and respectfully of the water plants inside the lilies. When we stopped the boat and the silence surrounded us, it was magical. Around us thousands of red water lilies (although not as many as in the peak season), and many water birds and swallows chirping. The trip took almost an hour. Very impressed by nature and people here. Some Thai people at the dock even invited me for breakfast.

I visited in March which was not the season, but the Red Lotus Lake was on my bucket list. We rented a big boat for 500 baht. He took us out to several spots, and even stopped at the temple on the island. The lake was absolutely beautiful and tranquil. I enjoyed beautiful pink lotus, watching birds, and water buffalos. I recommend it for nature lovers.

Small boat for up to 2 people - 300 Baht. Big Boat for up to 6 people - 500 Baht. It's very very beautiful to visit during Seasonal Period between December to January. The Ride is about One Hour. I did not regret travelling so far to see this amazing red lotus lake. Advice to Arrive there in the Early Morning before 0800 to avoid the strong sun and crowd.

The sheer variety and beauty of the birds here is astounding! Their antics were absolutely hilarious – frantic food hunts, comical escapes from our boat, and the sheer chaos of their running retreats. And the lake? A perfect mirror reflecting it all. A truly delightful experience!

Me and my girlfriend passed by Khumphawapi in wrong (dry) season so boat rides on the lake were closed. However we still found some beautiful lotuses along the road around the lake and walking in the fields

Every season has different lotus flowers, grab a boat and enjoy, you can have a bit dining too. Will come back 😊

A broad spread of the history of Udon Thani and the region. Early exhibits are only in Thai but as you move through more have a Thai and English explanation. A strong focus on the growth of Udon over the past 150 years. Worth a visit.

Free for everyone, the museum is very nice. Easily to access for everyone including wheelchair users. Multiple interactive points for children are really nice and interesting. Very warm welcome from all staff. Definitely, we will recommend this place to our friends and family. If we could have a chance, we will certainly be back to visit again soon. Really nice and joy with my family there!

This place is beyond my expectation! Usually the city museum is not well maintain or old but not this place. The staff did the great job and the exhibition is interesting. Not saying that this is the best museum in Thailand but this make me rank Udon Thani top in my heart.

You can visit this museum at no charge, FREE. Just register at the building next to it. It’s nice and informative and I’m amazed with the variety of display. Definitely a must go if you are in town.

It's a well-organized museum that offers an informative and concise look at Udon Thani's past, making it a worthwhile stop for those interested in local heritage. It's free.

This is a really interesting museum if you want to learn about Udon Thani and the city's role in the history of the entire country. Udon Thani might be a small city and does not get a lot of tourist attention, but it played an important role in the Siam empire. This museum is well curated and the layout is easy to navigate. The pieces they have on display are unique and most have English descriptions. We spent over an hour and learned a lot about the city, its people and the Thai nation. Free to visit and has plenty of parking.

Free to visit museum. Apart from a piece on the ending of the Vietnam conflict, all the audio and audio/visual presentations are in Thai. However, written descriptions are in both Thai and English throughout the museum. There's quite a bit to see here on two floors, and you just follow the one-way route. You have the geological history of the Isan area described at the start. Udon Thani actually means Northern Town. It is interesting to learn about the history of Udon Thani and how it came into existence. I was particularly interested in the influence American had in Udon, resulting from the establishment of military bases in the area. It affected the region both culturally and economically as personnel needed a variety of facilities and services from the local communities. This impact carried forward into the Cold War era where Thai & American governments worked together in deterring the spread of communism in Asia. If you are Thai or understand Thai language, you can pick up a card at reception, which you can use to activate the audio/visual elements of the museum.

Very nice park near Udon. Foreigner price 100b but they allowed me in for 20b because flowers not yet in full bloom. January will be the best time to see the beautiful flowers in bloom. Still lots of nice flowers and insects at this time in October.

Lovely park with nice long walks, great viewpoints and beautiful gardens. Watch out for the dinosaurs! The place had lots of facilities although it is a bit tired and in need of some maintenance. The signposting could be better on the upper parts where the temple and the walks are.

I couldn't believe this place was free to visit, the only negative was the visitor centre was closed and no information or leaflets available to provide a plan of the area. The signposted viewpoint is actually not the best viewpoint; carry on up the road from the main site to find the best views. There is a Caffè and Toilets in the Park. I think many Thai people come for the beautiful flowers and to have their photos taken with the flowers. It looks like you can camp for free on the site, could see an office where you would pay.

Love this park. Everything is well taken care of and looks so beautiful ❤️

Beautiful gardens This is one of the many places you can incorporate into a day trip around the Udon Thani area. Probably an hours drive from town and is about 600m above sea level. The garden areas are not massive but there's enough there to be worth a visit. The arrangements are very nice and colourful. The place is kept tidy and clean. Maybe a morning visit would better as in the afternoon it's quite hot and not as enjoyable.

One of my favourite places not too far away from civilization - easy to reach from Khon Kaen and Udon Thani. Free entrance which these days is a rare find. A convenient drive up to the National park station and good paths up the mountain not too difficult even for the elderly, yet still natural. The temperature up on the mountain tends to be much cooler than down in the plains even though it isn't really that high at just some 600+ meters.

Beatyfull calm Place. Nice for stroll. Maybe better to go in Mainsaison, because there more Flowers grow and everthing would be open. I was in Rainseason

This museum chronicles a remarkable episode in twentieth century archaeology. In this village in the late 1960s villagers uncovered beautiful pots with red on buff designs. These were evidence of a hitherto unsuspected Bronze Age culture in South East Asia. The museum covers the extraordinary bronze and pottery found nds made at the site. Entrance costs 150 baht.

1-hr driving from Udon Thani city. The place is well-maintained and clean. They exhibit ancient artifacts from excavation with some historical hypothesis. Apart from that, there is nothing much (~1 hr walking around). There is a white lotus temple that you should also visit (10 min drive). Replicant pot painting is also enjoyable.

Ban Chiang National Museum is located in the North East of Thailand, in a town named Udon Thani. This museum is full of artifact from the Bronze Era like 3000 to 1800 BC. The excavation was started in the 70's and King Bumiphol was there to witness the excavation and all documented in the museum with audio visual as well. Tickets priced at 50 baht for locals and 150 baht for foreigners. The Museum closes at 4.00 pm.

Interesting museum. Extremely well preserved jars and other precious metals. We learnt a lot about history of this region of Thailand. It is about 45min from Udon Thani. Highly recommend if you are curious about history and conservation.

Highly rated museum with internationally validated information that was fun to walk around. The staff was helpful and eager to share insights. There is an audio tour and a video to provide additional background and context. The pottery and burial sites of the prehistoric people who lived here thousands of years ago are extremely significant archeological and anthropological findings on a global scale. To understand the impact of these findings in Southeast Asia, and Thailand in particular, is fascinating and wonderful. The ticket cost was 150B for foreigners and 30B for Thais. It's a UNESCO site.

This archeological site is considered as the most important prehistoric settlement discovered in South-East Asia. Can understand why it is recognized as a UNESCO World Herritage site. Very interesting and informative! The village around the museum is so peaceful!

Very good Wat. The museum was a highlight. The building are amazing, the attention to details is fantastic. Something I really like. If choosing between places to go and you like to be educated a little then this might be the place for you

A beautiful Buddhist temple dedicated to someone of great national importance to Thailand and its people. A huge site, a tranquil setting, and the opportunity to learn more about the life of Luang Ta Maha Bua.

This is a Theravada Buddhist monastery, Thai Forest Tradition was built in 1955, located in the udon thani, Thailand. Ajahn Maha Bua, a Thai meditator is the founder.

A beautiful Temple on a beautiful site surrounded by a moat. I hadn't realised that there is also a large museum on the same site but it's closed on Mondays. There are big car parks on either side of the Temple site so I expect this place is very popular during Buddhist celebrations/festivals. Do also visit the opened sided assembly hall seperate to the island next to the main car park. There is the structure for many stalls along one side of the car park but it was very quiet today, not many visitors. Temple is free to visit, just sign your name and where you're from. Shoes must be taken off and put on racks at the entrance to the site.

This forest monastery has a long history of community centric activities. Way back during the 1997 Asian currency crisis its famous abbot rallied support for the Thai economy via donations. Even today the temple features such activities as free health services incl. traditional Thai medicine and massage. People around offer free food and drinks for the visitors. Unlike many other popular places there is no hussle for donations and no commercial interest. Very friendly and welcoming.

The architecture is really beautiful, especially the woodwork. We need to wear properly or they will give you a long skirt. It's hot here as no tree along the road. So umbrella/hat/sunglasses are recommended.

A very beautiful place to visit. Regardless of religion, this place gives you a feel of peace and quiet. Moderate crowd and able to keep safe distancing. Really worth visiting especially for those who loves to take pictures. The black and white combo give a very good contrast. Do not worry on walking around without shoes, the marbles used for flooring are fabulous as you do not feel the heat during noon.

Lovley way to spend an hour, admiring the Chinese designs if the buildings, learning about it's inauguration by the Thai Princess and learning about how the areas Chinese population first arrived and prospered in the area. There's also fish food on sale to feed the many many large Koi in the large central pond which runs through the complex. There's Chinese crafts for sale + two Resturant/ food options.

Just a place to understand a brief history of the Chinese. Just a hall that explained the history If you have visited China, Taiwan, Malaysia or Singapore you see bigger better landscaping. But still worth to pay a visit as is FREE entry. No much visitors Best time will be when they hold celebrations or events. Lion and Dragon will dance along with drum beating 7th August 2025

Beautiful place in every way. Feels like walking in a Chinese garden. Free to enter. I would recommend to go here and experience this wonderful place and its tranquility in the middle of a busy city. The place is also close to their lakes and parks so if you are here might as well stop by some more locations

In my opinion, city's best cultural, historical and sightseeing landmark, a must to visit forever tourist while in Ubon. Plenty of beautiful views, photo opportunities, greenery and of course carefully preserved historical knowledge about local Chinese-originating community.

This shrine is not only a spiritual center, but also a part of the Thai-Chinese Cultural Center, making it one of the most meaningful and well-preserved cultural sites in the area. ⛩️ The shrine is decorated in elegant Chinese style, clean, well-organized, and full of cultural charm. 🌳 A public park next door adds to the relaxing atmosphere. 🙏 Visitors can enjoy various activities such as paying respects at the shrine, buying traditional tea, or feeding the colorful koi fish in the large pond surrounding the grounds. A peaceful and beautiful place to visit — ideal for both cultural appreciation and quiet relaxation.

Beautyfull Place , peacefull Atmosphär, nice Fotopoints, little Nice Stores, traditional Tee Tasting, beautyfull Koi Pool and you can feed them. Behind a very nice Temple and Park with a littl Lake.

The architecture is stunning, blending traditional Chinese elements with Thai influence, creating a peaceful space perfect for a relaxed walk and learning. You’ll find a Confucius shrine, Chinese garden, and historical exhibitions that tell the story of Chinese immigrants in Udon Thani. The Chinese garden is a real highlight, with koi ponds, bonsai trees, and photo-worthy bridges.

Beautiful, clean and quiet temple. We came when there was an event on the main hall so we just went around the other side where there was not people at all. The buildings are all well maintained. It was just recently repainted and the gold/red paint are perfect combination of classy and regal. The grounds are also clean and there's a lot of trees and plants. Worth the short visit.

The Temple grounds cover a large area and include many attractive buildings, but the centre piece is the beautiful Pagoda. You can climb the steps of the Pagoda where there are galleries on two levels. It's worth going upto the 2nd level for the best view of the whole site. Plenty of space for parking and free to visit. I noticed that apart from buildings like the Ordination and Assembly Halls which unfortunately were closed for access, there is also a funary building complete with Crematoria.

The Wat looks so majestic with the Naga lining the stairs. You can climb to the top that gives you a commanding view of the compound. There are 3 floors where you can enter the temple to pray. On the 3rd floor, the mural on the wall is beautiful. You will have removed your shoes to enter. After the temple visit, you can walk over to the Nong Prajak Park, which is across the road.

Close to the city. Very famous temple and kept in the Thai Buddhist traditions. There are many famous monks who have stayed here. Beautiful Chedi that has 3 levels and statues of monks. The top level is for meditation. Not a tourist attraction but a real indication of what being a true monk and Buddhist is about. It is free and doesn't have people trying to sell you things free entry

Beautiful Thai temples Located in the middle of the city there's a few sights to see in this area. Not to mention the lake with large inflatable ducks. It's the normal standard beautiful Thai temples you see everywhere. Probably a good idea to go early because it gets so hot. A little tip is if you take the tram card city tour from Central plaza around Udon Thani it takes you here with a 20 min break. These tours depart 11:30am and 2:30 pm from memory.

One of many temples in eastern Thailand.

It's worth seeing for its cultural and spiritual beauty.

I can only comment on the food, service and drinks as we haven't stayed in there rooms. We absolutely loved the food. It's always good to get a nice but of British/Irish grub after weeks of spicy Thai food. The pies and breakfast choices are good and very tasty. We enjoyed the cocktails which were done by a friendly lady and the service from a delight of a girl called Preaow who is also really funny. It's located in a busy area so you can sit outside and watch the world go by. Well worth a visit fit drink and food.

Fantastic breakfast, good portions, fresh, hot and free re fill on coffee ☕ and tea. Service staff was outstanding

I didn't realize I'd been there so often but the food is fantastic as is the service. Very comfortable setting. Definitely a nice treat if you get tired of Thai food.

Sunday beef roast special all nice quality, good place to watch the F1 race.

Stayed here for 3 nights in June 2024, as have stayed here before. The room was large and looked OK. But, the TV didn't work, I enquired and was told the satellite dish was faulty, they didn't know when it would be repaired, not a deal breaker, but you need something to do whilst preparing to go out. The toilet roll holder in the bathroom kept falling off the wall whenever you pulled the paper, the safe didn't work electronically, I asked the cleaner (as I was instructed to by other staff) and she said that a key could be used, I mean would you?? Knowing there must be more keys out there?? The breakfast waitress who took the orders, found it difficult to either smile, or to be enthusiastic. I tried engaging her in conversation, but she just couldn't be bothered, just looked very bored all the time, unless she was on her phone of course. You'd think more effort could be made. The cleaner used 'Our' water to replenish, rather than the hotels, and didn't replace the tea bags used. An electrician decided to start drilling at 6.30am..... There never seemed to be any customers in the restaurant / bar..... I wonder why. The only positive, was the charming lady with the glasses who I first met when I arrived. She was a real positive, very smiley, and helpful. A true positive amongst negatives, didn't get her name. The breakfast was OK the first time, but seemed old, tough and possibly reheated the second time. All in all, I won't go again.

Very good wholesome Northern British food including pies, Yorkshire pudding, black pudding, chunky chips. Delicious and very satisfying. Delighted to find this place. Lovely staff. Comfortable chairs and tables. Highly recommended. Great value. Thank you very much.

This is is the first day that I can empty bags and visit hospital first thing at 8am.. I go to buy ice and water. Food can wait until I can buy WHAT I want. I expect someone to WhatsApp me to arrange a specific meeting tme Then we are all crystal clear and a decision made... Firda

Original-style Nam Nueng: fresh, clean, and perfectly balanced in flavor. The vegetables and side dishes are of excellent quality, complemented by a signature dipping sauce that’s uniquely flavorful. The menu also offers a variety of other Vietnamese dishes, such as fresh spring rolls, shrimp wrapped in sugarcane, and pho. The restaurant features a simple, clean, and inviting atmosphere, making it perfect for meals with family or friends. Service is quick and friendly.

It used to be good, but after COVID, everything’s gone downhill. The food quality has tanked—the rice paper even had this acidic taste like it was about to spoil. It’s a real pity since this was our family’s go-to spot. But what’s worse is the staff (especially the girls). They couldn’t care less about service, acting like they know they’re not getting tips, so why should they bother? It’s just sad.

Traditional "namnueng" is originally Vietnamese dish, slightly adapted for Thai taste and become very popular among Thai people. It largely available all around Thailand, especially in North-East region. But only few "brands" of this dish become famous, and "VT Namnueng" is one of them. Set with 5 "sausages" is big enough for 2 people, but we also ordered crispy pork. Everything goes with plenty of fresh herbs/vegetables and 2 types of sauce (sweet-spicy and just sweet). The service is fast, staff is friendly. The food is superb 😄 Do not miss this place when visiting Udon!

Great Vietnamese restaurant in Udon Thani. The restaurant itself is light and airy, with high ceilings. Service is excellent and though it is a relatively small menu, the food is good. I dined with large group of (mostly) Vietnamese and they all loved the food! The only surprise was the bill, which was much less than I thought it would be, coming out at around 250b per person.

Vietnamese restaurant in town serving many menu with delicious food and fresh&organic vegetable. There's no official parking area, but you can park beside the restaurant along the road. Clean and good service with fair price. Will visit again if possible

Great Vietnamese food in Udon!!! Fresh veggie!! This reataurant has a drive thru order and also take away snacks such as deep fried banana, rice crackers. Food here is good prices with good portion which you can choose to order!!! Really enjoy eating there

VT Namnueng, another famous restaurant in Udon Thani This restaurant is outstanding for its authentic menu. There are a variety of menus to choose from, such as Naemnueng, Naem, Fried Pork Ribs, Shrimp on Sugarcane. Beautifully arranged dishes The shop cares about the quality of ingredients and the selection of fresh vegetables every day.

Exceptional. What a treat. A fantastic culinary experience. We discovered this gem on our first night in UD. The cuisine is simply amazing. Prices are very reasonable. Service is impeccable. We shall return before leaving UD. Chef Pichit Hongthong is remarkable. We were greatly impressed and enjoyed his presence during Service. Do not miss this place if you are traveling to UD.

The food here is absolutely delicious! Every dish I tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend when in Udonthani!

Have had a lot of meals here. The pesto is one of my favorite meals, the sauce is always so fresh. Had the salmon a few days ago, which was fantastic, and had the lamb chops today, excellent! If you have a low rating of this place, you probably like Mc Donald's

I had dinner here a few times. It's definitely among the best restaurants in town. "Five star" food at normal prices. In that sense, it's quite affordable. They could probably have better wine to go with the food. But I don't know how that works out pricewise. Chef seems like a nice guy :)

Nice little restaurant in the middle of town. Last time I came to Udon Thani there was a party and I couldn't try the restaurant. This time I was glad to try the food. The place is cozy and has a relaxing vibe. The food tasted great and many of the dishes are not as easy to find here. I tried the lamb and it was cooked well with a nice brown sauce. The crab cakes had a great mixture of flavors. I would recommend it if you want a nice place to have dinner or take a date. They do serve some Thai food as well.

This was our 2nd visit. We had been very impressed by the quality of food and service on the 1st visit and decided to go for a light snack mid afternoon. It happened to be ‘ thanksgiving ‘ and there was a special set menu. We were drawn to the 4 course menu and ordered it. (So much for the light snack!) Again the quality and presentation of the 4 courses was outstanding. I would highly recommend dining at this restaurant as I’m sure that you will not be disappointed.

I had spaghetti alla bolognese, and my friend ordered onion soup for starter followed by penne alla carbonara. When ordering pasta, you can choose between four types (i.e., spaghetti, penne, fettuccine or squid ink), which is very nice. Then, the plate of pasta comes with a tasty piece of garlic bread on the side (only downside for me is that it is soft bread). Everything was nice. Maybe I slightly preferred the carbonara over the bolognese, but it might vary according to personal taste. A good option for fancy lunch or dinner in Udon, as it is indeed a little expensive. We didn’t try the desserts but they had various options that all seemed appetizing (crème brûlée, crêpe Suzette, tiramisu, waffle, etc.). They also serve Thai food.

Good experience

The food was delicious. We had a hard time making a reservation, so went over and left a deposit in person and booked for two days later.

(Translated by Google) An incredible experience! Perfect for discovering Isaan cuisine with a gourmet touch. Everything was carefully crafted using high-quality ingredients, prepared with care and originality. We loved it! (Original) Expérience incroyable! Parfait pour découvrir la cuisine d’Isaan avec une touche gastronomique. Tout était très travaillé avec des produits de très bonne qualité, préparés avec soins et originalité. Nous avons adoré!

Something different in the depths of Issan, rum distillery with attached bar and restaurant. Very interesting to see how this small batch rum is made and then to taste it later (120bht). Food also available. Well worth a visit - WhatsApp/ call ahead first. If your visiting Kog Samui, they also have a second distillery there! We arrived in a Grab from Nong Khai, but couldn't get one on the way back! The manageress very kindly called a local contact to take us back - so ask your Grab driver to stay/ return in an hour or two or make other arrangements! Ultimately it wasn't a problem and no reflection on this great activity.

We just visited the Isaan rum distillery in nong khai, what an amazing and nice place, the location is gorgeous, good rum to taste and very friendly people. If in nong khai it's a must to bisit

👍

Well worth a visit. Relaxing place to sit and enjoy food and drunk, especially the rum. Also given a tour of the distillery.

If you are waiting a few hours for the evening train, visiting this distillery is well worth the journey out of town. I paid the taxi driver 400THB to take me out, wait, and come back to the train station. It is a pretty, shady area to stay and have a few rhums. The staff are friendly, and will show you the rum making process. I just rocked up unannounced and they were happy to see me and made me very welcome. Great rum too!

Pure Single Rum from fresh sugarcane juice. The r could not get any freaher than this. Totally organic straight out of the copper still where the flavor is kept on side the rum. Great work by David.

Strong and tasty sugar rum, interesting small scale manufacturing and storage tour, plus super friendly service in comfortable surrounds, equals a great call, to visit the Issan Rum Distillery in the Nong Khai Municipality.

Kinda sad to write this honest review as l think getting Micillin Star recommended restaurant should be a Wow fact !!! Was excited to try but unfortunately most of the food were lack of taste.. so bland. Eating small local restaurant probably much better than here. Very disappointed

An elevated Isarn food experience. All classics in one place including the more obscure and hard to get by ones. Everything was cooked to perfection.

We are here as its mechelin guide 2024. The portion is enough for 3 people.the fish and pork tasted good. It's worth a visit.

Reliable Isaan Cuisine in Udon Thani "Krua Khun Nid" offers Isaan food in a comfortable setting. It's a dependable choice for local dishes. A good spot if you're looking for quality Thai Northeastern food.

Local Thai-Issan restaurant with convenience parking, plenty of tables & lot of local spicy salad, somtum, spicy soup & local fish from Mae-Klong River. It is located near Udon Airport.

At first I thought we had the wrong place due to lighting/tables etc, but it was the right place and the food and service were excellent. We had ant eggs, and the small fried banana root fish. Also larb ped and som tum.Used google translate on the menu.

Grilled pork neck is the best. Great variety of Isann food. Plenty of seating and parking.

Coffee and cake was very good and with a definite Australian influence which was appreciated by the Australians in our group. Didn’t have any meals though. Staff were friendly and attentive. Convenient parking (20B). Music was a little loud but for someone who hadn’t had their coffee but tolerable, and there’s outdoor seating.

We always drop by this coffee shop when visiting Udonthani. The quality of coffee bean is great making it perfect for any kind of brewing. The cafe’s atmosphere is lovely, tiny but cozy. The smell will impress you right after the first step walking in. Staff is nice and smiling.

Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to everyone who loves coffee and brunch. The food is very good. I got banana bread and yogurt with season fruit, these were so nice. The most lovely here is coffee, so many different coffee types that you could have and it’s all good.

My favorite cofffee place at all time when Im in Udonthani ❤️ Best service and friendly staff. Definitely come back every time in Udonthani 🌷

Cosy place, super friendly staff, amazing coffee and breakfast options. We've been twice in two weeks and we'll definitely come back on a regular basis.

Always be my favorite place for morning coffee , visit almost every morning when I am in Udon. Nice coffee and breakfast , although the shop is small but cozy. Staffs are super nice and friendly.

What a great drink! The menu called “Dopamine” deserves this name. I can feel how special it is from the first sip! Love it so much ❤️

My husband and I went there upon Mark Wiens video. My husband isn’t a fish lover so he ordered a mushroom chicken soup. The chicken must have been frozen forever, even all the spices couldn’t help! Really bad experience. I ordered Laab Pla and boiled fish slices, they are good, but no mood at all.

After seeing this restaurant on youtube I went along one day for a late lunch. I had a few dishes which included, pla luak jim (ปลาลวกจิ้ม) som tam Laos (ส้มตำลาว) laab pla (ลาบปลา) All served fresh and quickly. I enjoyed them all and went away feeling full.

Nice and clean restaurant. BBQ fish and other isaan dishes. Not expensive

Absolutely fantastic restaurant and highly recommend. The laab Pla is a must have....saap saap.

Plaa Pao very good and delicious. Many vegetables and sauce. Friendly service.

one of our favorite restaurants in udon. great menu of delicious thai food. very friendly service

(Translated by Google) Everything tastes good. You will not be disappointed with the taste of Isaan food. Bean Salad with Crispy Pork Grilled fish and various curries are good. Reasonable price Guarantee that you will not be disappointed. The staff provided good service. (Original) รสชาติอาหารดีทุกอย่าง คุณจะไม่ผิดหวังกับรสชาติอาหารอีสานแบบถึงรสถึงชาติ ตำถั่วหมูกรอบ ปลาเผาและแกงต่างๆคือดี ราคาสมเหตุสมผล รับรองว่าคุณจะไม่ผิดหวัง พนักงานก็บริการดี

This popular Vietnamese restaurant, a go-to for both locals and visitors, has earned significant acclaim, including Michelin stars in 2023, 2024, and 2025. It's the ultimate destination for authentic Vietnamese food. ($$$$)

Very upset and food is very ordinary. All fried onion on the topping are very overcooked and after I advise them they said they just would told the cooking department. I won’t be back due to the taste and attitude of staff. Moo Yor deep fried is worse ever found in Udon.

The legendary Kao Piak Sen Udon Thani, a spot featured in the MICHELIN Guide ! To start on a high note: the Kao Piak Sen TomYam was absolutely sensational—seriously, out of this world! 🍜🤤 That said, I made the mistake of ordering the Trung Op La, which was sadly just "meh." I was also a bit surprised when my "Saigon White Coffee" arrived in a plastic cup! 😂 Definitely a learning experience! Next time, it's 100% noodle soup for me too. Glad there was no queue today, so we are ending our visit on a high note! 👍

This is a must-try breakfast spot if you’re visiting Udon Thani. The menu offers a wide variety of options. While the prices might be a bit on the higher side, every dish is absolutely delicious. The ambiance and decor are excellent, with a cozy café-style vibe. The staff provides outstanding service, and the food is served promptly. Highly recommended!

Fast service and a very good menu with great local and Vietnamese dishes. Everything we ordered tasted great

Delicious food, great service and staff, easy to order and pay. Great selection of meals and drinks, vietnamese coffee is so good. Highly recomend

Not so many years ago, this marvelous restaurant was a big, well- worn location whose existence was mostly supported by locals. Major interior design renovation turned the huge space into a compelling, comfortable, attractive setting, but the awesome food remained unchanged. In 2023, Michelin recognition was bestowed upon the establishment. The simple Vietnamese comfort food served here is of a superior quality, and this restaurant is a must visit if you are in UdonThani.

Service was great, place was cozy, steaks were the only weak point. They were cooked ok, I think the quality of the meat was just so so, no different than anywhere else. But we did try a homemade sour dough for Mother’s Day and that was great. The pineapple fried rice was good. The Cesar salad was good. Would go back.

Wonderful coffee shop and eatery. Good quality coffee tea and bakery items. Offers a full selection of meals. Can prepare food as you request for diet considerations. Excellent service and atmosphere is peaceful and well thought out. A perfect place to relax with friends or someone special.

This is a hidden gem. You will walk past it if you don't know. This place has a wonderful atmosphere and chilled vibe. The food is amazingly delicious 😋. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I ordered a full cost meal! Come with complimentary. Starters is garlic toasty on fresh bread, which is always welcome. Drink was an ice caramel espresso, which was beautifully present with a cinnamon stick and a rose. Salad was the good evening salads, presentation was outstanding 👌, love everything on the plate. Main is the lamb rack. It was juicy and delicious, needed little salt for my liking. Dessert was the apple crumble. It was ok. I don't really enjoy the bitterness, but the caramel ice cream was fantastic. Thank you, Chef Paw, for talking to me and giving me a complimentary dessert. Would be back next time.

Nice and cozy restaurant. It think it's good to visit during the day time, but it's good to visit during a night time, too. Foods are nice and the price is reasonable. They offer home-made pasta menus, too. But it was sold out when I visited. So, I didn't have a chance to try it. Steak and spaghetti carbonara were what we ordered. Dessert was nice, too.

I have gone to this restaurant off and on for the last ten or more years. Most recent visit was in March 2023. A friend insisted on meeting here for lunch. Over the years I've had bad service, good service, and so -so service. One thing that never changes is that it's an absolutely beautiful setting, always adorned with plenty of fresh flowers. My recent visit confirmed the reasons I stopped going to this restaurant. It is horrendously overpriced and the food isn't always worth that high surcharge. 150 baht for a hot caffe americano is an absolute joke. Who are they kidding to charge that kind of money? The apple tart and dessert which cost 250 bot was just okay...nothing special. The cafe was not very crowded and it's easy to understand why. I cannot recommend this establishment unless you simply want to go and experience the pleasant setting.

What an unexpected treasure this place is. Just around the corner from a busy hospital l was not expecting to see such a restaurant. A-little research on the footpath and l found myself sitting down in a very calm and fantastic spot on the balcony. The story to Good Everything is great and really does make your experience there with the ambiance and food that much more enjoyable. The food is absolutely outstanding and by far the best cuisine I’ve had in Udon. You can feel the love and care taken with each dish prepared. I’m so glad l found this place as early as l know that l’ll be coming back already again again. Very well priced for such fine cuisine. The quiche Lorraine was simply magical. Staff are super friendly and helpful.

Very good French-Italian cuisine restaurant. All we orders are great. The pumpkin soup was very nice. Highly recommend to try. French onion soup was also great but the portion is way to small. I ended up filling half of my stomach with the bread bowl. But the soup itself was just like 2 spoons. Spaghetti khi mao and pork chop were perfect. Tasty. Fresh ingredients. Watermelon kagikori is sooooo refreshing and cheap. Highly recommended to try. Overall I love this restaurant. Though quite pricy but it’s worth the taste and quality.

Very busy lots of flights. It's a nice clean airport with good facilities. They have built more parking space for longer stays at lower prices. Flights are mostly delayed, so advice picks up drivers. It's a lot more busy now. Pick-ups can be harder as they move you on

Friendly, no fuss, all services available, ease of checking in. We were very graciously welcomed, checked in & helped by the check In staff st Vietjet counter. Assorted restaurants offering good & beverages. 3 ATMs on the floor.

Vietjet ticket office has one lady staff that spoke very rudely and in a condensensing tone to me when I questioned the pricing of checking bags at the counter. Apparently there is a 4 hours before the flight requirement, according to her, to get regular check in prices. I could not find any such wording on their website. I was ok with the extra charge but not the bitchy attitude.

Has improved a lot over the last 5 years, spacious, food choice and sanitary.

Small airport, but gets the job done efficiently. Baggage claim was quick on arrival, and the toilets were clean and well-maintained. Smooth experience overall.

Cute airport located and catering Udon Thani Province. Well maintained and well kept airport. Staff are friendly, and all the airport processes are fast and quick. Located with convient acesss to city centre. Airport has all the required shops and restaurants and caters most of the country's national and international airlines/destinations.

Please noted that this is a domestic airport and no service if you wish to has your bags checked through to your final destination airport. Example. Singapore. You have you retrieve your items BKK domestic and check in at international counter again. Just make sure you have minimum 2-3 hours for your next flight. Udon is a modern airport with 3 gates. As usual the Thai people are very helpful. First time I noticed a special area for monk to rest.

This airport is not very large, but it handles international traffic reasonably well. 🛄 The organization and flow are acceptable, though not particularly impressive. 🛃 Basic facilities are available, but don't expect too much in terms of comfort or services. Tip: As of 2025, there is shuttle bus from/to Talad Sao, center of the town , only 40k Kip.

less than 10 mins from downtown. good checkin for air Asia but Lao airlines was long. early AM flight didn’t have passport control open until 90 mins before departure. u won’t go hungry here but quality is mediocre. passport and security control were fine. many people throwing away vapes as they are not allowed in carry on. coffee was good at both eateries I tried. not gonna win any awards but there are many many worse airports in asia. overall it’s satisfactory.

VTE is honestly one of the dirtiest airports I’ve ever been to. There were cleaning staff around, but most of them were just sitting around doing nothing while trash piled up. Floors were visibly dirty, with plastic, bottles, and waste scattered throughout the terminal. For an international airport, this should be a serious embarrassment. The facility clearly needs better management and accountability when it comes to cleanliness.

Very basic and small airport but pretty efficient due to the low volume of flights. You can use KokKok app to get a taxi or take a bus, but if you are brave just walk. It's a straight road with many coffee shops on the way. It should take you around an hour (around 6 kms).

Surprised there’s no free WiFi at this small airport—feels outdated in this day and age. Thankfully, having access to the airport lounge made a big difference. On the plus side, arriving here, the exchange rate here is decent, and it’s convenient to buy a SIM card right at the airport (good deals )

A good small airport, just a 15-minute drive from the city center—very convenient. Check-in and immigration were quick and smooth, which made the whole experience stress-free. There are a few shops in the duty-free area, though prices are a bit on the higher side. One downside is that there's no Wi-Fi available. Overall, a decent airport for a short and efficient travel experience.

It’s not one star because the guy organising the taxis was far too helpful, but the security is troublesome and customs only there to collect money from foreigners, no wifi and poor seating and toilets. One of the worst and a perfect home for Lao Airlines.
