I’ve travelled many a time from Bangkok to Udon Thani on the bus and like you I have always enjoyed watching the world go by from the window. My favourite is the overnight bus, sleep a little and then wake for a hour and watch Thailand slowly draw to a near close. Sleep and wake up again to witness Thailand start a new day, a great way to travel and in my opinion only the overnight train can beat it.

Most of the houses in this region are on stilts as they are in the flood plane of the Mekong river.

Hi Talen, That’s a long journey, seemingl there is lots of interest that passes by on bus trips. the focus seems to be on housing this time round. I like th one’s on stilts, presumably they are near river that overflow on occasions.

The majority of houses I saw on the way to Mukdahan were all traditional Thai houses made of wood. The girlfriends village was the same. The small towns we went through and Mukdahan city were mostly concrete construction.

Talen-good idea, I haven’t been to Isaan but the thing that strikes me is the use of wood in the houses here its all concrete!
