Top tips

  • Fly from Bangkok to Khon Kaen (KKC) or Udon Thani (UTH).
  • Isan is big; plan for days rather than a quick stop.
  • Few tourists, so a translation app helps.
  • Why it's underrated: Authentic, uncrowded and great value.

Before you go

  • Check the latest entry requirements and travel advice on GOV.UK.
  • Buy travel insurance (and carry your GHIC in Europe).
  • Check baggage allowances — budget airline fees add up.
