Hi Tanya! I live mostly in the north-east of Thailand, in Nongkhai. It is about forty minutes, bus ride, to Udon Thani. But you are way down south in Koh Pangan, or you are taking training in Chiengmai?
Any way, if you are planning to be near this way, do drop me a line. Please look up my blog on information about Nongkhai to get some ideas of this small province.

Wishing you all the best and sucess in your life goal!
Cheers.
