Overview

UD Town is Udon Thani's open-air lifestyle mall and evening social destination, located off Thong Yai Road in the Mak Khaeng subdistrict. It opened in 2009 (a small number of sources instead cite 2010), covers roughly 25,000 square metres, and is reported to be among Thailand's largest open-air shopping centres. Spread across three levels with around 150 stores, UD Town blends retail with green outdoor spaces and a strong food-and-beverage focus, and functions as much as an evening-out destination -- especially for the city's long-established expat and retiree community -- as a conventional shopping trip.
