There are buses from all directions to Nong Khai. Overnight "VIP" bus services leave from Bangkok in the evening and take about ten hours to get here. From Chiang Mai there is an overnight bus service which arrives in Udon Thani in the morning...from Udon Thani to Nong Khai takes approximately one hour.

There are regular bus services along the Maekong River on highway 211 from the west, via Loei, Chiang Khan, Pak Chom, and then (as shown on map below) Sang Khom, Sri Chiang Mai and Tha Bo. Also, there are regular services along the riverbank from the East via Bung Khan and then (as shown on map) Phon Phisai to Nong Khai.

As can be seen from the map Udon Thani is very close (54 km) and there are regular services every twenty or thirty minutes during the daytime. By Train:From Bangkok there are four trains a day; at 06.42, 19.25, 20.00 and 20.45. The best train is at 20.00 and takes 10 hours, the others take about 30 minutes to an hour longer.these trains can be caught in udon thani to nong khai with the journey being painfully slow but if your in right frame of mind it can be a very pleasant journey to nong khai and maybe on to Laos if the line gets finished
There are very good sleeping cars on these trains which cost about 480 Baht You even get clean starched sheets and a pillow!

best burger in udon thani issan thailand

where is the best burger in Udon Thani issan ?
these are just my opinions below and are totally unbiased in any way coming to udon thani 10 years ago the best place would have been tj.s bar and restaurant hands down i spent many mornings there tucking into a traditional fry up and was the first place i ever tried grits but back to there burgers
still to this day they are hard to beat on value for money and size ok then taste is another factor to some the only factor
there not the best tasteing i ever had but if i was hungry they fill a space


World's most expensive burger
but if price is no object try this burger for the more well heeled gentlemen
hopefully udon thani prices will never get this high i hope
right you dont like cheap and cheerful and you dont like to be ripped of but you still need a resonble priced burger cooked to perfection in a clean kitchen
then one of my top choices as got to be the irish clock
in downtown udon thani it ticks all the right boxes for me and apart from the food the surrounding.s are nice and comfortable
ok so we have the irish clock and tj.s what about the famous auzzie burger yes certainly worth a mention i can not speak for this year but in past years this burger was the best i had ate anywhere but the only problem you have is finding the original auzzie burger with so many clones of the auzzie pub in udon thani its hard to track down until recently i had never had the privilege of a burger at auzzie dons bar but auzzie don came up trumps for me last visit really enjoyed the meal
if you read this don keep your chin up mate we send are love to you all
ok back to burgers i could post the worst attempts but i wont so the last burger but not the least is made at the uptoyou bar at the entrance to nutty park udon thani

and if after this you still prefer to stay at home and cook your own then spend the money saved on your very on bbq at Custom Barbecues made in udon thani
if you have your own best burger joints in udon thani let me know and i will stop in next time round regards john
