Take the road north towards Nong Khai, about 15 km from Udon you will come to a place called Ban Nakha... all the silk you need at good prices.

Lots of choices and the quality is very good. For the cheaper prices look around. The shops closer and on the main road are higher in prices. I have even returned at a later date and got what I wanted for 200 baht cheaper.

Thanks. When you say "look around", you want say look inside the city and not only inside the shop near the main road?

Yea, I found the prices get lower but you still have to barter for the good prices.

Thanks to all peaple for informations.
Ban Nakha seem to be a small city. There is a lot of shop selling silk?
