If you can cope with being 10 minutes outside of the town - then you will not find better value accomodation. Starts at 280 baht and has seperate kitchen bedroom and living room. TV - Fridge - cooker etc.
Swimming pool, Tennis Court and Multigym.
Can be quiet - so if you like the nightlife, be prepared for a trip into Udon.

It is on the map of Udon, look for grid ref G1

You'd definitely need your own transport up there though.

Theres a few other places in town with pools, but not as cheap as BB's

Hi there,

Yes I've stayed there at the BB resort - Cheap for what you get. I had lounge, bedroom x 2, big kitchen and bathroom for about 500 baht. It's a bit tricky to find. On the Udonmap it shows it in G1 grid ref. but it's not to scales so it foxed me at first. You have to travel probably 2 or 3 kms up that road and you will see a sign for it on the left. Turn left and about 200/300 metres you will see a sign pointing right - turn right there and you're there!

I miss Udon so much it ain't funny. The g/f has a night market shop now and it's doing ok - the first of our businesses in Udon!! Can't wait to get back there - I'm in Australia/Tasmania. I must get down to the Full Moon next time I'm there - yet to go but I've been to plenty of the other bars. Ah well, I'll just have to dream about slugging back an ice-cold Singha while looking at the Singha and Tiger beer girls. They are reason enough to visit time and again!

Cheers

Phil

Sorry to change subject (it's allowed here..) but your post has prodded my mind into remembering to post something about swimming pools in the hot season.

For those who live on or near Romyen 3 and do not already know, PM me to ask about the very nearest available, superbly clean and cheap pool you can use for 20B, all day if you want.

For others (I know who lives in the area), no chance..it's very quiet usually and I'd love to keep it that way. Selfish?? Yes, guilty m'lud

Next time I'll know something special around PK3 where I live I won't tell ya, na.
Now how far is Romyen 3???

The wife and I stayed for a couple of weeks at the end of February and it was enjoyable. Rooms cleaned everyday, quiet, pool Ok. We had a problem with the door latch one night after coming home from dinner and the owner himself went and purchased a new latch to install that night. I was pleased with the place. It is a little ways out but i liked the quiet of
the place.

Thanks for the info, Allen.

Now in Udon so went out and met Mr Wasn, a fine gent, and he showed me a couple of his bungalows. Nice and reasonable in the 450 Baht range. Also advised that he has motorcycles for rent since location is a bit isolated from center city. In-laws all in Nongsai so we decided to stay in downtown area. BTW, pool was being serviced while I was there. Looks like a quiet, reasonable place for anyone staying for more than a few days.

I've not stayed there but did go and check it out for someone who was thinking of staying there. Actually I have been there twice and met the owner.

I really liked the quiet setting and there were some stunning houses in the compound. I think some of these were for rent as well. A couple of monkees playing in the front of one of the houses made the setting even nicer.

I spoke to a couple of the longer term residents and they showed me through their accommodation and for what you paid it seemed ideal. They did comment that there had been some problems with the pool, a couple of kids had cut their feet on loose tiles on the bottom. The pool looked great though.

Location? I'd agree about 10 mins from town but on fairly wide roads.

Apparently not all BB Resort accomodations are the same, but can anyone advise me of an approximate monthly cost to rent a BB Resort bungalow?

Post by **bamakmak** » September 1, 2008, 7:55 am

TJ - I own a home at BB Resort so I'm very famliar with the surroundings. They charge 18,000 THB for a one month stay in a bungalow. The pool continues to be very nice. They also provide wireless internet, but I'm not sure if it is included in the 18,000 or not.

Post by **WBU ALUM** » September 1, 2008, 12:53 pm

Last time I stayed there, which was over a year ago, the wireless Internet didn't work. Ethernet cable solved the problem for about 30 minutes, then it would go down. Never could get a consistent signal in and out.

Quiet place. Accommodations are nice. Staff is friendly and helpful.

However, very far from town if you don't have your own transportation. You'll pay a lot in tuk-tuk fares, and the buses don't run very regularly on the Nong Samrong Road. I did a calculation and figured that I'd be better off paying 100 to 200 baht more per night to stay in town than to deal with the time-consuming transportation debacle from that area.

Post by **BobHelm** » September 1, 2008, 2:14 pm

Have to agree with WBU if you stayed at BB then own transport would really be a necessity.
I have never stayed there but do visit sometimes for the pool.
Place seems very pleasant, food so-so (Personally I wouldn't go there specifically to eat, but do eat sometimes when I am there

), pool very good, nice tennis court (very underused).

Post by **bamakmak** » September 1, 2008, 2:47 pm

I agree that having your own transportation would be preferred. However, it is a 5 minute walk to the main Nong Sam Rong road and the #6 bus (converted pickup) comes by every 10 minutes or so.

I also agree that the food at BB is just ok. However, a 5 minute walk and you are at the Saengkaew Restaurant - IMO one of the best places to eat in Udon. Great food (both Thai and farang), very nice hosts and not expensive. Also close by is the Englishman's Resort, which has a comfortable pub and good prices.

I'm not doubting you on this, but please tell me which day that baht bus passed every 10 minutes.

Ten minutes may be their goal, but I've never seen it happen. I see a tuk-tuk every 10 minutes on Nong Samrong Road, but I've never paid less than 100 baht one way for a trip into the city.

I've waited so long for baht buses (up to a half hour) on Nong Samrong Road that I've ended up walking all the way to the Ring Road, which is quite a jaunt and would kill most overweight farangs. Once, a guy on a motrobike gave me a ride to the Ring Road for 20 baht.

There is a market about halfway on Nong Samrong and sometimes you can get lucky and find a ride there.

Whatever one does while living off of the Nong Samrong Road, they should have their own transportation or have lots of baht to pay for the rides and lots of time to wait.

My personal decision has been to pay more for accommodations and stay in town within walking distance of everything.
