"Pros: Hosts and staff are friendly and open for individual arrangements. The compound has small fields for cosmos flowers and sunflowers. There are about 7 midsized dogs on the compound, mostly saved from abandonment. They are usually quiet and not stressful, perhaps curious. At least one cat stays there too. Room service is especially meticulous, my room was kept very tidy, I had a fresh towel each day and fresh bedsheets maybe also each day. I had the “big suite with rice field view (upper floor)”, regular price 1400 THB. With its couch and couch table, it feels more like a living room with a bed in one corner, and thanks to three windows on three sides it has fantastic views across the rice fields (mostly dry in January 2025/2568). It has small lights and electric plugs next to the bed, a very small desk, a slim cabinet, a clean white tiled floor, two different kinds of curtains and a slim balcony with wooden chairs and table. Electricity stays on while you go out. I think officially these rooms have no Wi-Fi, but sometimes you catch a weak signal from the lobby. Above this room there is a delightful rooftop terrace with great views into sunrise and sunset and very comfortable chairs and sunbeds. When the room on the ground floor had visitors, I didn't hear any sound from them. These 2 rooms have parking right in front of the building. Hot shower worked well enough, the comfortable bathroom is mid-sized with some natural daylight, but I don't think you can close or open the window to your liking. You can turn on the bathroom fan with its own switch. Around the sink there is good space to spread all your things, but no electric plug. About 1 km via dirt road straight west there are two decent mini markets; it's about 3 km to the next real village Na Charoen with coffee shop, noodle stalls and a small morning and afternoon market. Cons: I don't think they rent bicycles, but maybe they should because of all the lovely rice fields and rural roads nearby. At 14.92132 105.01569 there is a lotus pond especially full of flowers (about 5 easy to cycle kilometers from OK Farm; seen January 2025/2568) Just east of Det Udom begin the lovely wobbly dirt tracks near the South side of (Lam) Dom Yai River (remaining invisible) with amazingly lush nature by Isaan standards, unexpected water bodies, lotus lakes and bucolic buffalo pastures, starting roughly 16 km far from OK Farm, to be found on Open Street Maps based apps and on Google Maps. The north side has simple hidden riverside restaurants. Det Udom downtown has limited appeal, except for the lovely market, good to visit around 7:00 a.m. with a feast for eyes and taste buds. Sadly no freshly brewed coffee there, only Nescafé in a remote dark aisle (at least you can sit down there, also with food from other stalls); khanom krok is available on the outer south-east street corner. The market is also one of the few places in small town Isaan where you get the better Thai oranges for 50 to 70 Baht per kilo, instead of the much more widespread, yet forgettable 35 Baht jobs. One Det Udom restaurant with live music that even exists in real life and not only on Google Maps is “ส.เครื่องดื่ม” next to the highway (better to sit more inside); it's rustic atmospheric with exceptionally polite service, with the Carabao songs for life interpreted by an underwhelming violin-guitar duo. There's also Night Bar (not on Google Maps in January 2025/2568) with a music stage. Other Det Udom live music restaurants featured on Google Maps seemed to be dead when I visited on a Saturday evening." ~Heico
