Moving to Udon Thani

The city is situated in a major transport corridor between south Vietnam, north Vietnam and eastern China. The city's Udon Thani International Airport is a good travel option for expats moving to Udon Thani from abroad, with flights to Bangkok taking only around an hour. There are also trains, buses, taxis and even a 'limousine service' (which is, in fact, a minibus) from the airport to the city center. Before traveling, expatriates moving to Udon Thani will find it useful to read up on expat finance, cross-cultural communication and similar transitional subjects; all these can be found covered in articles on the InterNations website. The local culture is a lot to take in and, while you'll quickly grow to love the unique Thai buzz of activity, expatriation information is often very useful on arrival. Some of our InterNations members have written great accounts of their own unique experiences of expat life, and you can find these articles on our website as well.

Working in Udon Thani

The first impression that expatriates in Udon Thani can expect is one of a city full of energy. You might even call it hectic, although there is a logic to it all and life in Thailand is about as stimulating as it gets. The first major exploration for expatriates working in Udon Thani is the food: braving the street vendors to sample the delicious local snacks for lunch, perusing the wonderful fruit market on Udon Dutsadi street and checking out the bars on the city's Central Plaza are all early rites of, as it were, expatriation in Udon Thani. While the local culture is a joy to settle into, expats living in Udon Thani can also get in touch with other global minds and InterNations members through the forums and private messages on our website to get local information, socialize or even organize meet-ups.
