After a recent trip to Isaan in general and Udon Thani in particular, I can report on some interesting places. I discovered two pleasant massage places in Udon. One is called Gentle and the other is Bandung Spa (sister of the one in Prapadaeng, Thonburi(Bangkok).
The boss of Bandung Spa is EXTREMEY pleasant, cute and loveable...more so than all the boys...but being a professional, I merely invited him for dinner at Sizzlers, rather than let rip inside his underwear. His name is Bank and he hails from Maharsarakham.
You can check out the boys and a map at:

I picked the boy called Gear (picture on the web site).
Went upstairs and into a room with mattress on the floor. Then went to a shower alone and then back to the room where Gear came after his shower. He did a good oil massage (about Bht500 for 90 minutes) while naked and soon his dick was rigid and was looking for someplace to put it. He tasted lovely and really was a very happy sex partner. A good atmosphere but not too many boys to choose from...although Bank would arrange pretty much what made you happy if you were there for a long stay.

Later I visited Gentle massage:

While driving there, I passed a boy karaoke joint called City Man, but boys outside didn't seem too interested in me and me not in them.
Gentle is good with another helpful, but not sexy boss. The boy I wanted from the picture album was sick and others were away home. But next day I had Jack...a very good boy. My picture picks, M and Q, were still away. Apparently they are brothers and can work together well. Similar set up to Bandung with boys massaging naked and doing whatever was required. There is a good farang restaurant next door doing big breakfasts and some UK deli stuff.
After the massage at 1:30 pm, I asked the boss about evening activity and he directed me to The Boy Zone which is almost at the junction of Adunyadet and Phon Phisai Roads. It's a small shop house with boys sitting outside in the evening. There is a large straight karaoke house opposite. On the very corner is an excellent short-time hotel with big ceiling mirror and hi-fi etc and porno movies...all for Bht240. You drive in and immediately an obliging gentleman draws a blind behind the car in a covered carport. You walk directly into the room from the car.
Anyhow, the bar was ok..some pleasant street-types with whom you can snuggle and grope in the bar or take to the motel. Bht80 for drinks and Bht250 off. I didn't off from there. But while in Central Plaza (ex-Robinsons), I was courted by a public health university student who was keen to chat and show me Udon. The short-time motel was part of the route I chose. He was pretty much a besotted virgin I found. Very pleasant young guy with dark, smooth skin. His dick was above average size and rearing to go from the initial contact. I really enjoyed his company and although he didn't know any short-time places or even that they existed, he handled to motel well.
Apart from all the above, Udon is a very desirable place with a Carrefour and at least three Tescos and even a new Jeffer. It's a real up and coming town for expats and with the super new Central in Khon Kaen (equally as good, if not better than the new Pattaya one) just down the road, its a lot of fun.

Thanks for rejuvenating this thread.

Kanchanaburi can now be added to the list of provinces where gay nightspots can be found: the first bar (with karaoke and off) opened there a couple months ago according to my sources.

It's on the river road a km or two south of the River Kwai Bridge, on the bend in the road next to a nice vegetarian restaurant.

Not sure of the name.

The window of opportunity has already closed on this place, so don't go looking for it. It already went out of business, according to my sources in the field.

-- 'Vaut le detour.' as Le Guide Michelin might advise.
- For a farang who possesses but one word of Lao-speak - and not much more for Thai-speak - how is UDON for Ahng-grit-speak?

I'm not even sure of your "ahng-grit-speak", sextile...even I as a native speaker sometimes have trouble deciphering your posts!

-- I do not speak English as I write it in these threads; in fact most of the abreviations that I use are those that I've met along life's way and wch. I use as possibly most of the readers are native speakers of English, who - even if they don't recognise the abreviation - should be able to make an informed guess from the context.
- When I speak and/or write to non-native speakers/readers then of course I do try and write correct English as a courtesy to them, (and also to save them from writing such replies as above: ! ,.

Egads, glad I'm not the only one who hates that term!
