Hey guys, just looking for some advice and have searched the boards without joy.

A mate and me will be doing a little side mission to Vientiane and Udon Thani from December 27 till the 31st. Not much time I know but we have to be back for NYE. I'd appreciate any feedback regarding both places on the following.

Nightlife - where can we pick up some company for the long lonely nights. I can't do mingers BTW, I'd prefer to invite Mrs Palmer around if the girls weren't fit.

Udon Thani - as far as I can tell it's a pretty big region up there. Is any town better than another, would it be worth going to Khon Khoen (spelling??) or is Udon Thani OK.

Accommodation - it's always hard to get good info on hotels, but I don't mind paying a bit more for something good. A pool would be good as well. It'd be pretty important the place is GF.

Sightseeing - is there anything that can't be missed?

Thanks in advance.
Dave
