Udon Thani is located in the North of Thailand (Isaan Region), near the border with Laos. Even though it is the 4th most populous city in the country (150,000 people), it is very laid-back and provincial. I was there for 5 days as a stopover before heading to Laos and I was not really expecting there would be any nightlife. As it turns out, I was wrong. You can find bars and nightclubs that are open and busy every night, but for that, you'll need to go outside of the tourist areas. This short review will guide you through the best venues I went to during my stay. If you think I forgot one, please leave me a note in the comment section below.
Rhythm is my favorite nightclub in Udon Thani. It is located about 4 kilometers from Central Plaza Mall in the basement of the Napalai Hotel . I visited it only once, on a Sunday, and it was packed. If you expect Udon Thani nightlife to be boring you will be surprised.
Phoenix is the most modern nightclub in Udon Thani (Thailand) and also one of the most popular with younger clubbers. My hotel ( Centara - very recommended) was only 500 meters from the club so I spent 3 nights in a row there. The thing I liked the most about Phoenix is that it gets crowded even on weekdays, especially after midnight. It is much nicer than hanging out in the depressing farang bars of Samphan Thamit street.
