yes K2 udon thani is a big province and i agree a lot of people.
my previous gf, was from a village 25 kms north of udon town. her parents and family did their administrative things in phen not udon, as that was their local amphur.
1 night i went on the turps in udon, i went to the local karaoke had a couple of girls with me for quite a few hours, spending some big money in issan terms.
next day i went out to the village from udon, and for my benefit in very slow thai not issan, i was told about the drunken farang at the "piano bar karaoke" who was with 2 girls and spending big money.
my point K2, is that these simple village people, knew about my previous nights nocturnal activities the next day.
so thats the main reason with my current gf, and her father and uncles contacts, that my behaviour in the udon area would be noted.
i reckon i will be allright in patong, but i will still avoid udon girls.
i am sure there will be a "cousin" in patong somewhere she has not told me about.
