Gecko Villa & the Isaan Experience | Gecko Villa, Udon Thani, Thailand |
Udon itself is mainly a commercial town - rice trading etc. Found a great place to stay called Gecko Villa, run by a young Thai couple who stay nearby. A great house and private pool surrounded surreally by rice fields. A great base from which to explore the rural villages, Nong Harn listed wetlands and Ban Chinag archelogical sitre as well as Nong Khai and the gateway to Laos.
A real expereince with truly great hosts who went out of their way to show us the area and introduce us to local lifestyle.
Good food too.
Have a site at www.geckovilla.com
From there, travel to Nong Khai and Laos, or along the Mekong to Loei (taking the old road along the river). A very scenic trip. Basic accommodation and food but a great journey. |
