A trip to Thailand isn’t
complete without a
dedicated session of Isaan
food; a visit to Udon Thani
without this is downright
sinful. For a quick glimpse
of local fare, take a walk
around the food markets
of UD Town where you’ll
see grilled salt fish and
a world of meats and
spicy soups and salads.
Maeya restaurant on
Rachapatsadu Rd should
also cater for most of your
needs, but don’t miss
out on the opportunity
to sample it in its original
form: on the street,
preferably with a cold
beer to take the edge off
the chili.
“Isaan is different
to the rest of Thailand.
It’s a different
world up here”
