UD Town Udon Thani

4.4(4,359 reviews)

UD Town is a well-established shopping complex in the heart of Udon Thani city, drawing both locals and visitors with its blend of indoor retail and outdoor bazaar spaces spread across a sizeable site on Thongyai Road. The mix of formats gives it a distinct character compared to a standard mall — shoppers can browse air-conditioned stores during the heat of the day and then transition to the open-air night bazaar as temperatures cool in the evening. The complex hosts a range of shops covering fashion, accessories, and everyday goods, alongside a food court offering a variety of Thai and local dishes at accessible prices. The nighttime bazaar adds a lively street-market atmosphere that makes early evening visits particularly worthwhile, with more stalls and activity as the night progresses. The layout accommodates both casual browsing and longer shopping trips comfortably. UD Town is open every day of the week from 10:00am to 10:00pm, making it easy to work into any itinerary. For those visiting Udon Thani and looking to experience local shopping culture beyond the city's main markets, the evening hours tend to be the busiest and most atmospheric. The Facebook page listed on the venue's profile is the best place to check for seasonal events or temporary stalls before visiting.

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping

Haggle at Markets, Not Malls

Prices at market stalls are negotiable — start at 50–60% of the asking price and meet in the middle. Fixed-price shops and malls don't haggle. Smile and keep it friendly; aggressive bargaining is considered rude.

Arrive Early or Late

Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.

Be Cautious with Tailors

Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
