Udon Thani Shopping

Udon's main shopping area is Phosi road starting from the fountain round-about and then continues northwest. In this vicinity you'll find a wholesale clothes market, Gold shops, and various local handicraft shops.

There are also two large night markets, one near the train station called 'Center point' and the other close to Radjaphat university on route 2 called Hightech, Hightech is also host to a selection of trendy bars, discos, restaurants and cafes.

For general shopping head to the Charoensri shopping complex, Big C, or Tesco Lotus.

DIY enthusiasts should head to Global house which is a warehouse jammed packed with everything you could possibly need for building, it is across the road from Homemart which is almost the same but maybe has a better range of tiles and bathroom suites but less building accessories. Both places can be found almost facing each other on the north eastern ring-road. A new clothing hypermarket is currently under construction next door to Global house and is due to be completed in 2005.

Furniture shops are located all over Udon Thani but probably the place with the largest range of furniture can be found at Koncept opposite Tesco Lotus on the ring road. Another place with a good range of furniture is called Index which is on Phosi road 1km from Big C.
