Helpful Tips
Install Grab and Bolt before landing. Both serve Udon Thani airport and city center.
Look for yellow-and-blue songthaews that run fixed routes from Central Plaza to UD Town and the bus station.
Buy a Rabbit Card at Central Plaza if you'll ride the city's green public buses more than once.
The airport minibus counter inside the terminal sells shared seats to downtown for roughly half the price of a meter taxi.
Common Scams to Avoid
Unofficial "porters" at the baggage-claim exit insist on wheeling your luggage 20 m to the taxi queue and then demand 100, 200 baht; keep your bags in hand and politely decline any unsolicited help.
Touts inside the small terminal tell arriving passengers that the airport shuttle bus has stopped running and steer them to a private car for 600, 800 baht; walk past them to the clearly marked minivan counter outside or use the official taxi stand.
Metered taxis at the rank sometimes claim the meter is "broken" and quote a flat fare of 300, 400 baht to downtown Udon. Insist on the meter or step back inside and book via the airport's taxi-desk window to get the regulated rate.
