I was stationed at Udorn Airbase at the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. Big changes there since then. I have returned to Thailand since then. But only to Pattaya and Phuket. On my next visit, I want to revisit Udorn Thani. Do you happen to know if there is still a military base South of the town?
@TheIsaanFarang4 жыл бұрын
There is John. Now called Wing 23 and still an active airbase for the Thai air force. There is also an ex US base called Ramasun Station a little further south on highway 2. Was used as a radar centre listening to Chinese and Vietnamese coms during the conflict. Let me know when you are in town. Would love to sit and have a chat about your time here and can get my brother in law to take you through the airbase. All the best.

I like Udon, last visit was in 2013 on my 50th Birthady, some good bars and restaurants and friendly girls that don't pressure you too much. I lived in Namsom for a couple of years about a 90 minute drive away, I would often stay at Top Mansion as it was so cheap but clean and comfortable and had a car park. I would start the night in the Irish Clock as the girls and food were lovely, then end up in Day & night. If my Mrs was away I'd go to Udon for a bit of R&R and stay at @home so if she called me and asked where I am I could tell her I was @home.

A Thailand vlogger that actually knows how to put on a respectable shirt............gets my vote. Top Mansion used to be THE place, and is still an excellent deal, and most importantly has covered parking. The same applies here, get a room on the Day and Night side, but not near the road. That way the whole building will shield you from the massive noise coming from the nightclub in the Central outside parking lot, that place has caused problems for many years, and still the damn place stays open, huge bass noise until 3am. Maybe COVID has closed it down, THAT would be good news.

@@TheIsaanFarang I most respectfully disagree, Marilyn monroe , Twiggy (1960s), lily-rose depp, Kate moss & daughter to name a few models,who are about the same height if slightly than Pook. Make no mistake Pook is absolutely stunning, you're a very lucky man to have her a wife.

There are some very nice condos within a few minutes walk of the city centre and railway station. called Lumpini Condos Scott. Don't quote me on it but I believe they cost around 10,000 per month. A good friend of mine who is a professional footballer was living there with his wife and young daughter and loved the place. Nice roof gardens with swimming pools.
