This post is part of the Route-Info series continuoation from :

From Laos last stop at Vientiane, I enter into Thailand, Nong Khai and from there on this is the riding route I took going south through the north eastern parts of Thailand or better known as Isaan before exiting at Chong Chom and re-entering Cambodia for a second time.

(Entry From Laos) Vientiane -> Nong Khai -> Chiang Khan -> Loei -> Udon Thani -> Sakon Nakhon -> Nakhon Phanom -> Mukdahan -> Roi Et - > Kalasin -> Khon Kean -> Maha Sarakham -> Buriram -> Surin -> Ubon Ratchathani -> Two – Coloured River -> Amnat Charoen -> Yashothon -> Phimai -> Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat) -> Surin -> Chong Chom (Exit into O’Smach Cambodia) 

Motorbiking Route in Isaan

Things of Interest along the route :

Nong Khai, Chiang Khan Loei

The chill part and beautiful scenery all the way. Going along the Mekong river, the scenery is beautiful and there are also lots of unique local tourist spot like bamboo floating house along lakes, antique wooden houses on stilts along the Mekong river and slightly mountainous terrain which is rare for Isaan once I finally rode around

Udon Thani, Roi Et, Kalasin, Khon Kean

The cities and dinosaur I would say. All very near each other and also very modern city (Except Kalasin) and all accessible to the great wonders of the dinosaurs of Isaan.

Sakon Nakhon, Nakhon Phanom, Mukdahan

The gateway to southeren Laos. Surprisingly I found more historical and cultural event along this stretch of the Mekong river which I did not expected.

Buriram, Surin, Ubon Ratchatani, Phimai, Korat

This historical part of Isaan with many ancient temples, museum, monuments and yet within all that a bustling city.
