Hello! I am a photo journalist and my editor gave me an assignment in Isaan. I've reserved my ticket to Bangkok, but I know very little about traveling from Bangkok to Isaan. Can anyone tell me how to reach Isaan and its experience on a road? Thanks in advance. Bye!

Hi there! Well I was in Isaan last year and my experience on the roads of Thailand is not so good. As you have probably heard, Isaan is a north-east part of Thailand, the least-visited part of the country and the poorest, so my guess is that your editor doesnt like you much. Im just kidding. Last year while I was traveling to Isaan, three people were killed in a bus crash and many were injured. I advise you not to travel by bus in Thailand. Their drivers are crazy and very often break traffic laws. They always overdo the limited speed. Maybe its better for you to rent a car. In that way you will enjoy in safer drive. The rail system is good, but doesnt cover all the destinations in the country. If you rent a car, then you should be careful also. People often there flesh their lights indicating that they want you to move. They also pass when ever they want. I hope Ive helped you with my experiences and that youll learn on my mistakes. I wish you safe driving on the roads of Thailand.
