About location

Udon Thani has served as a provincial administrative centre in northeastern Thailand since the late 19th century. The modern town developed around an administrative and military post established in 1893. Mueang Thong Charoensri Market belongs to the city’s everyday commercial fabric, set amid broad divided roads and low-rise shopfronts in its expanding urban area. Udon Thani lies on the Khorat Plateau, close to the Lao border, and has long been an important service and transport centre for Isan. Its wider province is known internationally for Ban Chiang Archaeological Site, whose prehistoric remains earned UNESCO World Heritage status in 1992. Nong Prajak Park provides a prominent lakeside public space within the city.
