Getting around Udon is pretty easy and not expensive, you have the option to use saamlaws (three wheeled taxis), motorcycle taxis, public buses or sangtaews (Van with bench seats). We have listed all the sangtaew and bus routes on our free online map. Taxi meter cabs are slowly being introduced to Udon Thani so don't expect to see many around the city just yet.

Motorized saamlaws cost from 40bt upwards depending on how far you're travelling, pedal power saamlaws cost less, remember to agree on a price before embarking on your journey.

There are two main city buses; one is white and the other yellow, simple as that! A short trip will cost you from 6bt or 10-15bt for longer trips. The routes are marked out on our paper map and the above interactive map.

Sangtaews are the most common way of getting around Udon and are number and colour coded depending on which route they take. There are no designated pick-up or drop-point, just hail the correct number and press a bell when you want to get off. The cost is 10 baht within the city ring-road and 20-25 baht for longer trips. The price goes up a little after 7.00pm; all routes are clearly marked on our maps. Buses and Sangtaews generally stop running by 8pm; some may keep running a little later. So remember that the only way to get around after dark is by saamlaw or taxi meter cab.

If you prefer doing the driving yourself you can hire a car from one of the many rental companies around Udon Thani with or without drivers. Costs for car rental vary between 1,000 and 1,500bt, more if you have a driver. Most car rental companies in Udon offer motorbike rental too, prices start at 150bt per day.
