The Thai government are already planning an entry tax for foreigners. Now they want to tax our hotel stays too. When will this gouging of foreigners end? Whatever happened to the Thai hospitality that I fell in love with years ago? I seriously think they’ve lost their way.
🇹🇭 BANGKOK POST: The tourism ministry plans to ask hotel operators to implement a dual-tariff structure under which foreign visitors may be charged rates similar to pre-pandemic days while locals may continue to enjoy discounted rates #Thailand https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/2341012/govt-plans-to-charge-foreigners-more-than-thais-for-hotel-rooms
Some friends I haven’t seen since Covid flew into #Thailand for a few days. Nice that you can do that sort of thing again with no fuss. I took them out to eat at @OKKitchenThai. We had some beers in my new can coolers and ate way too much. But it was all delicious. #ThaiFood
Testing out my new can coolers. How many cans of beer can you see?
I’m told the Pepsi and Coca-Cola can coolers will be ideal for some of my trips. Nothing tastes better than a cool drink after a long and hot day. Don’t you think?

We cannot leave Isaan without eating one final local meal. I cannot tell you my favourite as I liked them all.

One of the highlights of visiting Udon Thani province in northeastern Thailand is the “Red Lotus Sea” or Talay Bua Daeng (ทะเลบัวแดง) in Thai. The best time to visit is between December and January. I’m hoping to come back to see this again. Have you been? #Thailand
VT Namnueng in Udon Thani has some good Vietnamese food. Here are some pictures of what I ate the last time we were here. Makes a nice change to eating #ThaiFood food all the time.

A brief stop at VT Namnueng to buy food souvenirs to take home for friends and neighbours. You cannot go on a road trip without bringing something back.

Moo Ping with sticky rice. Pork on a skewer is a nice breakfast when you are on the go. #ThaiFood #Thailand
Good morning from Udon Thani. It was a good trip to Isaan for the Phi Ta Khon festival. I was able to get some great photos.
Today we have the long drive back to Bangkok. I was thinking about catching the sleeper train, but by the time I thought about it, tickets had sold out.
The last night of our trip is here in Udon Thani. Tomorrow is the long drive back to Bangkok. At least 8 hours if we don’t stop.
The beds tonight are comfy but maybe a bit too cosey. The problem with these Thai media trips is that you have to share hotel rooms with someone else.
Four shrines in Udon Thani popular with Thais:
