Over the years I have been everywhere in Thailand except for Koh Lanta and that place with all the cunty little monkeys, and though I had been to Udon Thani once before in 2004, I had only been through it in a minibus in a drunken stupor.
The three of us arrived at Central, which is a mall just like the other Centrals only opposite a massive construction site where they are probably building another fucking mall.
Walked to the end of the road and it looked like any other place in Thailand North of Bangkok. Nothing outstanding whatsoever, and no sign of Marmite and his midget. At the end of the road on the corner of Central, there is a bog standard intersection with a huge Nok Air billboard.
This inspired us to go to the airport where there is a rotting 747 on the runway with the engines missing (probably stolen). It was pleasant sitting on the grass under the palms outside the 'Restricted Area' with my two companions but that was about it.
Landed at Don Muang last night and my right ear still hasn't popped.
