not sure what this is, spam, or just asking opinion if good value. since there is a business and contact info, i'm guessing spam.
accomodations are fine, a necessary expense at good place, about 1500 baht for 2 nights. the rest, 3300 baht for ride to nong khai and ban chiang, well, that's pushing it, if anything, just paying for the convenience. don't understand with only 2 days, spending one going to nong khai. see temples, have that in udon, the one scupture park, interesting, but not to waste a whole day. the river is ok, but nothing special. shopping sucks in nong khai. better to spend the 2 days in udon and ban chiang, relax, that 3300 baht is nice budget for 2 days in udon.
think i need to get a work permit, do tours. nah, that almost sounds like work.
if asking opinion if it's worth it, only for convenience. bus to nong khai, drops off near temples/town/river/rest all for 20-30 baht, tuk tuk to scupture park, all of 100 baht r/t. lunch, decent place 500 baht.
7 baht for bus to orchid place, 7 for return to downtown. ban chaing, i would rent a motorbike, it's less than an hour, give yourself an adventure, 200 baht. the rest, eat drink and be merry.
