Isaan Region (including Udon Thani, KK, Khorat)

[HotShaneHot]

I just returned from 4 days in Udon. Lots of ladies around. Just depends on what you are looking for.

There is so much ladies to see there.

Did you actually try picking up Thai girls in Tawan Daeng. Titanio suggested below that this was not advisable and likely difficult for a Farang on Thai territory. I have been to Tawan Daeng elsewhere but always took the girls with me.

Non P4P Girls would likely be too shy to go with a Farang in a place like this as other Thais would look on her as being a hooker. I did not expect hookers to be at Tawan Daeng in working mode, but correct me if I am wrong.

Wow yes I love to as you been wrong lots in the last week.

I was sitting in a bar in Soi samphan as you know. There was a freelance girl walking up and down the Soi at night time and standing next to the bars looking for a man later on the night I was go pass the night club at the back of Charoen hotel same as Tawan Daeng I just forgot the name and she was in the line up to go in side so there would be some in side looking as this was now about 12:30 am and all the bars was close.

Why Udon? I am four days into my first visit to Udon Thani and am now able to answer the question. The quality of the girls is off the charts: for proof, go to the night market near the train station, or the Yellow Bird disco, or to the Taewan Deng Pub. The availability is spectacular. The competition is low, meaning that the prices are low. Foreigner visitors don't seem to come here very much judging by my discussions with bar staff and my own personal observations, e. G. , last night a spent a few hours as the only customer in one of the first bars you see in Nutty Park; I opened my wallet and bought the five girls (including a Korean-looking beauty) a few rounds of drinks. And when I returned a few hours later to take my Korean-looking friend to Yellow Bird for a twirl, I learned that I had been one of only three customers that day (and easily the biggest spender). Why Udon? Three words: cost, availability, quality. And the weather is awesome at least at this time of year: low humidity, gentle breeze, and not blistering hot. Oh yes, and the traffic is not impossible and the accommodation costs are low, plus the flights to and from Udon are dirt cheap.

Copying this from the BKK thread. It really belongs here.

Has anyone else heard anything about this? Lao girls back in Udon would be reason for me to visit again!

False rumor.

[FireWight]

Hey guys,

I'm heading to Mukdahan & Savannakhet for a few days, is there any updated info on action in this area?

Thanks for the advice.

Cheers!

1 am wanted a snack so walked to the 711 and tuktuk drivers were offering Lao ladies (thought they were all deported)...

I can also not advise to pick up a girl in a Tawan Daeng as a Falang. The Thai guys will definitely not like it as it their habitat. Well at least it is like that in Udon Thani. After bar close hours you may find a BG there, but mostly that are the left overs.

I would not advise it or recommend it. I reported on all the night life options there and this is one of them. Like I said, mostly full of big groups and couples, very unapproachable, I suppose with good Thai skills you might have some decent chances but with all the other better options, who needs the challenge, especially on a short 1 or 2 day trip. Sherbert was absolutely my favorite but it may be different for others. I plan to visit all the soapies agin but will partake this time around instead of just doing Intel.

I also neglected to mention an area I was taken to by a taxi driver, similar to Sephan Kwai. I was drunk as hell at the time and couldn't remember how to get there now, my point is, the taxis are not anything like Bangkok. Just get in and tell the driver to take you around to all the places for ladies he knows. No commission or extra pavement is required other than the metre. However, it would be a good idea to throw him an extra one hundred or two hundred for his trouble. This is how I was able to track down all these places.

When I go to Ubon, it is not primarily for mongering purposes.

I have to go there for other reasons, and may be actually spending some time there in the future.

I received a couple of questions from friends about making a trip to Ubon. I stressed to them that there is no point going there if mongering is the primary objective when there is far more in Bangkok and Pattaya. Do you agree or is the local mongering scene so much fun, that it is really worthwhile on its own?

Are there a lot of really interesting things for normal tourists?

I recall enjoying trip to Ubon 23 years ago, but I took a Soapy girl to Ubon with me. I don't recall all the tourist attractions now. She was not an Issan girl (actually Southern girl), but looked Issan to some. Locals apparently got a bit annoyed with her, when she would not speak Issan with them. LOL She did not speak English but spoke normal Thai quite slowly and clearly with simple vocab. This made her an excellent person for me to improve my Thai language from, in my early learning stages. In contrast speaking Thai with Bangkok girls (non Issan) was difficult as they spoke too fast for me (at the time).

You are quite right. I have to go there on business and would never purely make this a mongering destination. Whenever I go somewhere, I always try and hunt down what's available for night life and mongering. This being one of the largest cities in Isaan, I knew it was bound to have some decent choices. As for touristy stuff, I'm not interested. I go for work and then head to the then nead out to the nightlife at the end of the day. I'm the last guy to ask for a recommendation on touristy stuff because I hate.

I will be there again Jan 12-14 and will update on all of these again.

Thanks for the lowdown.

I think I will try the Soapies and Hostess bars when I get there. Karaoke not really my thing. Funny you included Tawan Daeng. Never would have occurred to me to try getting a girl there.

Please do, that was an excellent report, thanks.

Just as a matter of interest, Pol Pot's favorite girl (though she ain't no girl any more) was still at the Long Beach as of five or six years ago, last time I was there. I can't really recommend her but she's definitely a piece of history.

For hotels, stay at the Sunnee Grand hotel and convention centre or V hotel.

Hostess and Kareoke bars:

There are both karaoke bars and hostess bars with girls even more attractive than those in the massage parlors. What is the difference? Well, it's simple. If you take The View in northern Ubon, that would be a typical hostess bar, with plenty of girls that will sit with you as long as you buy them drinks. A similar joint is Alive, located in downtown. Things are obviously a little different at Starlight Karaoke, where you would pay 200 Baht per hour for the rent of a private karaoke room plus 200 Baht per hour for one of their super hot and white skinned girls plus drinks (Beer 150-180 Baht, Red Label 1,900 Baht). My personal recommendation through is the brand new Sherbet, a mix of hostess bar and karaoke means you can first hang out with the girls downstairs which looks like an ordinary bar with live music and then later on (if you feel like) sing songs on the second floor.

I had a great time at the place. The owner is from Bangkok and speaks perfect English. I hung out with a beautiful white skinned girl and back to my room for 2,000 LT.

Bars:

Tawan Daeng.

Tawan Daeng UbonTawan Daeng is an institution all over Isaan and northern Thailand, pretty much every province capital has its own branch of this hugely popular franchise. It's the perfect place to bring your girlfriend, enjoy some dinner and watch the show on the huge stage with Isaan style Molam Music. Very nice and attentive staff and unlike some other branches like in Buriram, the Tawan Daeng Ubon starts getting busy pretty much every single night from 10 pm onwards.

I checked this place out for about an hour but mostly couples and big groups of guys and gals together. Not easy to approach.
