Want a nice relaxing hotel or guest house in Udon Thani

Hi all!
Im (male 50) going to Udon Thani, for my first time, in January next year and donดt know where to stay for a week or more. I really donดt like the big luxury hotels but want a hotel or guest house which has a pool, room with refrigerator and air. Been in Thailand many times but have no experince in Udon Thani, any advice? Hope I can get some link as well to check out.

If you dont mind not being right in the heart of town then I would have to recommend Thomas Resort:

http://www.udonthaihouse.com

Rooms are clean, cheapish and cool at 500 baht per night.

It has a small pool and it's a very quiet and relaxing place.

Thanks for reply! Yeah that was a very nice place indeed, and so was the price But I could not find any map so Iดm wondering how far to downtown. I like to go by motorbike so itดs no problem with distance but hope itดs not too far. How many room there?

Yep you are 100% right Bob, Y18 is the grid reference on the map:

It's only a couple of km's out of town, maybe not even that, I would say about 5-10 minutes away from the city centre.

I think there is about 9 or 10 rooms on the site.

Now got it clear from the map, Thanks! I saw another place when looking around called Aussie Bar http://www.udonmap.com/aussiepub/ is that a nice place as well? But the resort was real great I must admit, at least from the website.

have stayed at udon/thomas resort. it fits the bill of quiet and relaxing. got the last room when there, not large, but comfy. you won't be doing laps in the pool, but i will cool you off. restaurant on premises i did not try, menu looked decent. motorbike should solve any transportation problems or baht bus at end of street. if out and about and want to indulge a little too much to drive, the their free shuttle is available. if staying a while in area, book couple nights to keep your options free. good value for money.

Take a look at BB resort also

Its not quite as far out of town.

There is a link on this site somewhere ???

No BB Resort is the first one at the top under 'sponsors-accomodation'

I share the common hatred of drop down menus - so the easiest way possible is the best as far as I am concerned. It always happens that I never quite manage to hit the target first time and end up starting again.
Windows menus do my head in

Hmm just found that out myself. It is lot of information here but it was well hidden....
