About Sakon Nakhon
Sakon Nakhon is medium sized town in the North Region of Thailand with a population of around 200,000. Few foreign visitors stay in Sakon Nakhon and consequently it has few hotels and restaurants which cater well to foreign tourists.
Most restaurants shut by 20:00 and none of the hotels have foreign language TV channels in the rooms. For this reason most foreign visitors to Sakon Nakhon, as well as the majority of Thai visitors, go to Sakon Nakhon on a day trip and choose to spend the night in Udon Thani which has a much better range of hotels, restaurants, bars and shops.
