Thank you, Tommi! It was your page on the Khao Phra Wihan temple Trail that made me want to make an area page for Northeast Thailand. Thanks for your vote.
I lived in Udon Thani for 2-1/2 years during the Vietnam War (and spent considerable time at Nakhon Ratchsima and Ubon, as well, after moving to the Philippines). Wasn't much opportunity to hike or climb, but I did travel around the country a lot on my Honda CB-125 motorcycle. Thanks for the excellent resource! --mark .d
Thanks Mark! Wow, it must be a small world. My dad also lived in Udon Thani during the Vietnam War. This is where he met my mom. I took a trip to Thailand last year and explored the area for a month with my family. Glad to hear from someone who has been there before, I appreciate your vote.
I have to agree with Sp-member Dean. This is a truly exceptional page; it is very well composed and put together. Thank you!!! If I could vote TWICE on it, then I would! You do very fine work! - Larry :)
Thanks Larry. I wish I could have spent more time hiking and climbing mountains. My relatives have never traveled anywhere in their life so they thought it was the greatest thing in the world. They were unaware of the incredible place they live in. I didn’t have a good camera with me so my photos did not come out very well. Maybe someone else will add better photos later.
This page is impressive... I've been to Thailand a few times but never made it out to Issan before. You've certainly motivated me to head there next chance I get- and provided a great list of things to do- I'll be taking a printout of your page with me for sure.
Thanks! I’m glad the page motivated you to visit. I think this is the least visited area of Thailand but it is my favorite. You get to see Thai culture without so many tourists. I have a few more things to add to the page and then it should be done.

Beautifully doneAnother treat and I find this very educational about an area I know nothing about.

Re: Beautifully doneThanks Dean, Thailand has a lot of history so it was easy for me to make a page for it. Thanks for your vote.

Good!A very nice page. I'll have a look in my archives later on. Perhaps I can add some photos.

Re: Good!That would be great, there are a lot of places I haven't been to yet, so any photos would help the page. Thank you for your vote!
