Udon Thani is one of the main cities in Thailand's Northeast region. Its main interests for visitors are the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ban Chiang, and the archetypal rural villages in the countryside, where life has changed little over the decades. Udon Thani Airport is the main and fastest connection to Bangkok. Its arrival and departure terminal is always busy with travelers bustling around in a happy confusion. The best way to get away from the tumult of the Udon Thani Airport is to car hire and be off to the city, in the rural part of the province or across the border in Laos. Either way the best way to do that is to have the freedom of movement that can be offered by one of the many car hire companies that are located at the airport.
The number of tourists coming in Thailand is increasing by year. Transportation is of paramount importance in offering a great holiday experience. At the arrival terminal at Udon Thani Airport all the major car hire companies and domestic ones have their desks ready to service any demand. To car hire in Thailand is easy. A tourist needs only to be of legal age and have a valid passport and driving license. Any discount coupons or vouchers can be used with the rental companies as long as conditions apply. Most of the times gas is not included in the rental price but there are numerous package deals that might have this option as well. Traffic can be very busy and it is advisable to purchase insurance as well. Better to stay on the safe side. If you are planning to cross into neighboring countries it is wise to inform the rental company as well since this information must be enclosed in the rental form. Driving through the country you can have the option to drop off the car at a designated office in another city. And when on driving, do it carefully, otherwise in case of an incident you would not have only to pay for the damaged car but also for extra number of days the car is idle and under repair as car hire agency doesn't earn money for lost days.
The combination of old and new, history and new developing areas, all the hassle and bustle of a busy city, the thousands languages and dialects with as many accents make of Thailand an exotic, fantastic place. The old imperial palaces overlooking crowded fish markets are entwined with skyscrapers and luxury hotels overshadowing lesser accommodation lounges. A trip to north of Thailand is an experience for every traveler and no matter where you have been before there is a strong chance you will be mesmerized.
