Thailand is divided into 6 regions - North, South, East, West, Central and North East. North East is commonly known also as Isaan where the people identify themselves as Lao, they speak a similar language as the country Laos. Isaan is the largest region in Thailand and possibly has the largest population too. Isaan cuisine is very popular among the Thais.

Went to an Isaan restaurant for lunch today:

Start with this

Raw vegetables

Somtam raw crab

Grilled sticky rice

Grilled chicken

Bee larvae

Crickets

Omelette with ant eggs

Worms

Deep fried duck beak

Soup (tom saeb) with pork

The feast

Thought of doing Sukhothai but helluva drive, stop over at Nakhon Sawan, then to Petchaburi

Saw this interesting link for Bang Saray. Is U Pattaya any good? Any recommendations?

Tom Saeb is a must try. Wont go wrong one for those who like spicy.

Do day trip and possibly dinner at one of the seafood restaurants. Preecha has a branch at Bang Saray but I still prefer the Baan Ampher main branch. At night stay at Pattaya lah! Bang Saray has nice beach but at night really nothing unless this is what you are looking for.
