Don't confuse UD TOWN with the Udon Thani Night Market. Both are open in the evenings and offer food stalls, but one is more upscale and geared towards tourists, while the other is more local and popular with locals. They are located on either side of the road leading to Udon Thani Railway Station. You can enjoy good Thai street food at both, but the Udon Thani Night Market offers a wider variety and is more authentic. Sometimes called the Train Night Market, it's one of the largest daily night markets in Thailand. There's a huge selection of local dishes, from classic Pad Thai to papaya salads, including seafood and spicy crab salads. It's truly a great place to sample Thai street food. You can eat well and cheaply! For me, a visit to the Udon Thani Night Market near the railway station is an absolute must when visiting Udon Thani. For this reason, my travel agency Siamese Wonders almost always offers the option of eating with a Thai guide on our Isaan tours, who will explain the specialties to you.

The Udon Thani night market takes place every evening from 5 pm near the train station. UD Town Udon Thani, with its food stalls, is right next door, but the night market is recommended for a more authentic experience.

If you're staying in Udon Thani city center, you can easily reach the night market on foot. I would even recommend booking a hotel in this area of ​​Udon Thani.
