The Saturday Night Market in Nong Khai
Been before? The Saturday night market in Nong Khai is well worth a look. It's held every Saturday from 5 to 10 pm on the waterfront - Rim Kong Road to Walking Street - in the upstream direction. From Udon Thani it's about 63 Km.
The coordinates and a map can be found at the bottom of the page.

Mushroom season
When the rainy season begins in Isaan, mushrooms start growing in many areas, in the woods especially. Their diversity is impressive, with lots of different shapes, sizes and colours.

The wholesale market of Udon Thani
From time to time we just stroll through the wholesale market in Udon Thani and surprise ourselves with the variety and quantity of goods being offered there.

Thai Siri market in Udon Thani
Some impressions of the evening bustle at the Thai Siri market: Thai take-away, grilled chicken and fish, som tam salad bar and saikrog Isaan - variety has no limits as in some of the smaller markets in Thailand.

Ant eggs, rodents and other specialties
If you drive on the now continuous 4-lane highway 210 from Udon in the direction of Nongbua Lamphu, then you will find a small market just after the village of Nong Wua So, right on the roadside, which at first glance is a typical Thai market. If one, however, were to examine the goods offered a little closer, then you realize quickly that sometimes there are some very specific specialities.
