Udon Thani—Rent From $250 a Month in a Modern Thai City
It’s 7:30 a.m. and early morning activities are happening around us: healthy types setting off on their morning walk or jog along the three miles of trails, children playing in the open air playground, mothers looking on and chatting quietly among themselves.
