Udon Thani: แยกชลประทาน (แยกไดโนเสาร์)
Few places in northeastern Thailand have a history as closely tied to the United States military presence during the Vietnam War as Udon Thani. At Chonprathan Junction, widely known as Dinosaur Junction, broad traffic lanes meet the low-rise shops and small businesses typical of this expanding provincial capital. Udon Thani stands on the Khorat Plateau and is an important commercial and transport centre for Thailand’s northeast. The city grew rapidly when Udon Thani Royal Thai Air Force Base supported US operations during the war. Elsewhere in the province, the Ban Chiang Archaeological Site is a UNESCO World Heritage site noted for evidence of prehistoric settlement and burial practices.
