Getting Around Udon Thani

Getting around in Udon Thani hasn’t changed much in the last decade or so.

The public transportation system in Udon Thani is very poorly designed compared to Europe / USA.
The buses do not run by a time table, only operates 07:00 – 18:00 and the routes are very limited.

Having a private vehicle in Udon Thani is not a luxury but a necessity if you are exploring the city.
We recommend to either rent a motorbike or a car to make your trip a little easier, instead of relying on the buses.
