Isan, the northeastern region of Thailand, shares its northern and northwestern borders with Laos. On our 10th trip to Thailand, we decided to explore this region by car, marking our second—or technically third—time renting a car to travel independently. We flew from Bangkok to Udon Thani, where we picked up a rental car and drove north toward Vientiane and the Laotian border. In Nong Khai, we headed west, following the Mekong River, before turning southwest to drive up into the mountains.
Our journey took us through Udon Thani, Nong Khai, Chiang Khan, Hai Tak (Loei), Lom Sak, and Khon Kaen, finally returning to Udon Thani. Covering roughly 1,000 kilometers, this route offered a mix of rural landscapes, cityscapes, winding mountain roads, and serene countryside.
The trip was rounded off with a couple of days in Bangkok before flying home.
