If you are looking for the best 5 bars in the Day and Night complex then perhaps we can help you out a little. Although the topic is somewhat subjective, I believe there are 5 bars that stand out above the others, for different reasons, and depending on how you want your night to unfold, that should offer you a good night out.

Seven Sisters Bar
Seven Sisters Bar offers you a little of everything and is the first bar on the right as you enter the Day and Night entertainment complex in Udon Thani. This is a long established bar and certainly appears to be perhaps the most successful of them all. The bar is owned and run by Thai’s, which may explain how they can control the girls better than many others. There are normally a good number of girls working here, with ages ranging from mid 20’s to mid 30’s. Just because the girls are here, it does not mean you have to engage with them, and they are happy enough to leave you alone if that is what you want.

The Scotsman Bar
The Scotsman Bar is one for the lads, and sometimes with their wife. There are normally some girls hanging around to serve but are not generally there as an ‘attraction’. This bar is where you head for if you want nothing to do with the bar girls in Day and Night, and just want to enjoy a quite beer or two.  It is typically used by British ex-pats who already have a girlfriend or wife, and are always happy to see other ex-pats. The ex-pat owner, Ian, is a bit of card and more so after a few drinks, but always remains a hospitable host.

Oasis Bar
The Oasis Bar is next to The Scotsman and has recently been taken over by a new owner. This change may have been for the better but it is early days and still appears a little too quiet most nights. There are normally 4 or 5 girls here, all dressed the same, as they do in Pattaya which I confess I do like to see, they all appear to be quiet young, quite possibly all in their 20’s, and pretty. If you are looking for a young lovely, this is the bar where I would head for. Grab a girl, pay the bar fine and enjoy. This is not a bar I would use for a quiet drink, but it may be possible to do on a quiet night.

Good Bar
The Good Bar is the first bar on the left as you enter the Day and Night entertainment complex in Udon Thani. It normally has a good number of girls available and a pool table where they will hustle you as you get to know them a little. I have often seen older girls working here, and some that have worked here in the past have also worked in Pattaya in years gone by. No worries as you can get a good tune from an old fiddle, as they say.

Sunny Bar
The Sunny Bar is also a good place to track down some nice looking girls, although the bar often sees ex-pats and visitors who are more interested in the sport being screened. It is typically quite a lively bar, and for that reason alone breaks in to my top 5 bars in the Day and Night, Udon Thani.

When I started out on the exploration of the Udon Thani massage experience, which was done predominantly those within the catchment area of the naughty nightlife bars that span ‘Ferang Alley’, I set out not expecting to find much other than just a series of massage parlours which would offer a range of massages but perhaps not much else. Okay, that may perhaps have been somewhat naive, but my expectations were low due to the fact that this is (or was until now) a topic that is rarely covered on any of the forums that cover this region, or indeed anywhere. The local ex-pat community tend to not talk too much about it in case the wife finds out I guess.

Finding somewhere to get a massage in Udon Thani is really easy as there are loads of them scattered around the city, and even though I have lived here for several years, I dare say that I have not seen even half of them, but the massage parlours that are interest to the visitor, I have. From what I have seen, what is offer before any potential extra’s, is quite standard with Thai massages, foot massages, back massages and oil massages being the most common. Some establishments have herbal spa treatments, pedicures etc available, but as most advertise their services in Thai only, it is not always apparent just what is on offer at many of the Udon Thani massage parlours. This is why most visitors use the parlours close to the Udon Thani nightlife area, as all the advertising is in Thai and English.

Most of the girls that work in these massage parlours are single and almost certainly have at least one child from a former Thai partner. This gives them the real need for some income, to feed themselves and kid(s), which in turn will often mean that they are willing to that little extra to make you happy and make some better money. Perhaps not surprisingly, the massages here are not quite in the professional bracket, but that said, not that many visitors seem to mind as it is the special massage that is of interest in many cases.

Exactly what is available from place to place, in terms of a 'special massage' varies and is highly dependent on the individual girls. Some will oblige in just one way while others will offer the full package, and it really is a case of experimenting to find who offers what. Perhaps not entirely ideal for the visitor who may only be in Udon Thani for a week or so, but if you are visiting for a month or more (as many do), you will soon get to know the girls, and who will offer what.
