  Comments from Utopians:

  "I stayed at the gay-friendly Tubtaywun Resort at Ubolrat Dam near Khon Kaen last week and found it a very pleasant place indeed. A handsome, young, and friendly owner was busily engaged in expanding his small resort (8 rooms). The place was very unique with individual air-con rooms and a good restaurant. Each room is an individual thatched-roofed cabin with a attached bathroom, an outside porch or balcony with table and fridge, and a view out over the large lake. No nightlife so bring a friend. The address is 338 Moo 3, Bangsand 2 Beach Tambon Kurn Ubonrat Amphur Ubonrat, 086-222-5640 086-1030311." -- johnds99, May 9, 2006
