Take-off from Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand: By Eustaquio Santimano
Seven Places to Experience in Ubon Ratchathani City
When you visit Ubon Ratchathani, one of the 76 provinces of Thailand and one of the 17 provinces in Isaan, you will arrive in Ubon city. In Thai it is Amphur Muang, the provincial capital city district. It is usually just referred to as Ubon.
There are many places of interest for first time visitors and return visitors, as well.
Tung Sri Muang - The city park and traditional ceremonial grounds. It is easily identified by the giant candle in the center. It is the shrine to Ubon’s Candle Festival and Buddhist Lent.
In the northeast corner is a memorial from former POW’s in Ubon to the local people who helped them survive. When the sun goes down, the park becomes a place for socializing and exercising. Afterward, head to the southeast corner for some delicious Thai food from the night food market.
Ubon Ratchathani National Museum – At the south end of the park is the museum. Inside you will see some of the history of Ubon, as well as artifacts and relics.
Had Ku Dua – This is a beach along the Mun River. Go lounge on a bamboo cover patio floating on the river. Enjoy a picnic lunch or dinner with friends or family.
Wat Sa Prasan Suk – When you enter this temple on the outskirts of town, you will pass under the giant white elephant statue serving as a gate, and also a guard to watch over the temple. Tour the structures, and make your way to the boat-shaped vihan in the rear, floating on a man-made pond.
OTOP Center – A showcase for local artisans and merchants. This project was initiated to encourage entrepreneurship, and an alternative means to support themselves among the agricultural based country residents.
Huai Wang Nong – A large city reservoir on the east side of town. Many locals go fishing there. And, mainly in the evening, there will be a wide selection of restaurants providing food, drinks, entertainment, and a nice view.
Ubon Ratchathani Cultural Center - The cultural center is located on the Ubon Ratchathani Rajabhat University campus. In the lower level, well organized displays tell the story of Ubon Ratchathani and Isaan.
When you visit Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand, take time to visit these sights and others that are sprinkled around the city.
