The prebooked airport pickup was punctual and friendly and this is a clean, well appointed and economical guest house run by a British guy and his Thai wife. Check in was quick and courteous and the room was fine. The bar and swimming pool area was pleasant although it was the wrong season for swimming. I ate thai food there one night and it was one of the most delicious yellow curries i have ever had. The big problem is its location as it is very far from the centre of the Udon Thani which maybe is not a problem with one's own transport. There are infrequent "songthaew" services from the main road 350m away but at night you have to rely on three-wheeler taxis and many of the drivers have no idea where the place is.My 2nd night's attempt at an early night was disturbed by a expatriate Pool Tournament and the hotel's attempt to phone for a taxi when i was leaving was fraught with problems despite the efforts of the thai owner and one of the staff - but hey this is Thaiand!
