Udon Thani, Administrative province in northeast Thailand.
The province spans 11,072 square kilometers across northeast Thailand, bordered by Nong Khai, Sakon Nakhon, Kalasin, Khon Kaen, Loei, and Nong Bua Lamphu provinces.
During the Vietnam War period from 1964 to 1976, the province gained strategic importance through the Udorn Royal Thai Air Force Base operations.
The province contains the Ban Chiang archaeological site, which holds Bronze Age artifacts dating back 5,000 years and received UNESCO World Heritage status.
Udon Thani International Airport connects the province with Bangkok through multiple daily flights, while extensive rail and road networks link to other regions.
The province contains substantial potash deposits, representing one of the largest unexploited reserves worldwide, which positions the region for future mining development.
