6 weeks in udon thani issan Thailand pt 2

well after a hectic first week our thereabout in udon i decided on a day trip to nong khai after a good nights sleep caused buy a beer tiger overdose a certain fella caused Brian was to blame if you read this brain i hope Holyhead looks after you until your return anyways i got myself out of bed in good time so hear goes road trip to nong khai

easy to do the rayong nong khai bus passes buy central bus station just over dignornely from the complex 50 baht to nong khai third road bus station in luxury and a short journey compared to the old clapped out non air i think i am getting soft in my old age

but the air buses run pretty regular but its still worth checking the times a short wait could be offset buy a cold one in mojos our steves bar ok well i made it to nong khai  if its you first time there i would head for the river to get orientated

basically you have the river and a row of restaurants then a road behind that that runs the full length of the boardwalk broken only buy the Indochina covered market then a couple more road and buildings separating them running adjacent to the river

nong khai is easy to find your way round most people stick around the first and second road where you will find Brendon's bar a few hundred meters past the covered market the bridge side Brendon's bar

was where i thought i was going to have a quiet couple of hours not so just as i had finished my breakfast some of the ban dung boys turned

up so i weakened and ordered my first tiger beer of the day 10.30 am this was supposed to be my day of the sauce but what the heck i wont get the chance when i am back to the grindstone in the uk so here goes

ps above video is from my second visit to nong khai on my way to do a laos visa run
after one of the lads banged a few times on the roof to wake Brendon up is bar staff informed us he was not pissed upstairs but in India no wonder he did not come down so we proceeded to enjoy the view nong khai is a great place to chill out there's even if there's not much going on

well its was another good day out i made it back to udon thani for a chicken cordon bleu at the Irish clock i think i offered Steve to pay for it twice so i must have been slightly half cut buy this time i decided a few days in Bangkok where in order so i made my way down to the here travel agents 042 244305 next door to mister tongs new bar a very helpful Thai gay guy runs it and ba boom i am booked on the early morning 08.35 air Asia flight to Bangkok
