Traveler impressions of Ubon Ratchathani
My personal thoughts about Ubon is that it is fast growing city. I came here 5 years ago and I have seen the difference.
Ever since my first visit in 2009 till now I never regretted to go back there as the food and people are so nice to others.
visiting temples in the city center is very interesting , after that you spend your time with beautiful nature of this province with Sirindhorn Dam, Kaeng Tana cascade on Mun river and along the way to Khong Jiem : Pha Cha Dai to see the first light of sunrise
Not much to offer but a nice town by Thai standards, extremely friendly people. Not much to offer in terms of "attractions" apart from the National Park 60 km away.
Ubon is well known for its friendly people and that is no exaggeration. A bit short on the ground as far as other attractions.
It's very humid and hot.Many people are from vietnam which they have been living there since the war in Vietnam.
Ubon Ratchathani is very quiet looked so lifeless,easy to go about by Taxi and its all in meter.It's also cheap to travel by Taxi.
Ubon Ratchathani is a very nice city. The river "Moon" runs through the city. One should try to sit or dine by the riverside in the evening.
Quiet town, spread out a bit in parts. Not over westernized (no 7-11 or Mc Donalds on every corner) But has what you need.
Ubon Ratchathni has lots of historical places to visit. There is an unseen Thailand sight which lies in this town.
Very good mix of many thing such as cultural, nature, religious and traditional. also mix of both country Thai's and Lao's
Great little city, laid back, friendly, everything within walking distance, not yet sunk under the weight of back-packer hostels.
I've gone to Ubon 4 or 5 times and everytime I was completely unable to find any nightlife whatsoever.
หากเดินทางด้วยเครื่องบิน และไม่มีรถยนต์ส่วนตัว สามารถเช่ารถได้เลย แนะนำ budget รถคุณภาพดี ควรซื้อคูปองส่วนลดและจองรถไว้ล่วงหน้าจะได้ราคาที่ถูกลง แถวสะพานกุดปลาขาวฝั่งวารินชำราบมีแหล่งบันเทิงเปิดใหม่ ร้านอาหารและดนตรีสด เช่น ร้านไฉไล (แนววัยรุ่น) ร้านสาละวัน (ยุคเซเว่นตี้)
Ubon is a small city. Easy to walk around and not many tourist. People are nice, but I did not see so many things I could be doing there.
There are so many temple in the city but I hear about outside the city have so many famous places to travel
Interesting looking city. But my hotel was too far away to enjoy all this vibrant city has to offer!
We have visited many temples in town there were interested and inspired us to find out more information of Ubol in the old day.
I have traveled many parts of the world and this town is honestly one of the strangest places I have ever been.
Ubon is still 'real' Thailand, with the 'pros' that its not farang crowded, people did not forget how to smile yet, normal life going on around you.
It is a Big and very nice City to visit. A must see for all. Great food and site seeing. In July is the Candle festival, a very great event to see.
I am going to travel Ubon Ratchathani with my parents, around 12 peoples. We are staying 3 days 2 nights.
Personally, I'd never go back to Ubon. It is not my kinda town. I only stayed there two nights and wish it were only one - or none.
GET A CAB TO TAKE YOU TO 3 OR 4 TEMPLES TO SEE THE WAX FLOATES. MAKE SURE TO GO TO SPAGO RESTURANT AND PEPPERS BAKERY AND RESTURANT.
Ubon Ratchathani is a nice town for a short stay with a few nice attractions outside the city. Hence be prepared to drive for quite some time around the surrounding landscapes.
We come to Ubon very often, as my wife is from there/here. It is growing very fast, this can be good and bad.
Ubon is gettinh more busier everday, the aiport is very good. giving t a great start to touring greater issan.
Ubon's a nice enough town. Like all Thai cities, it's no oil-painting, but it makes up for it with a few interesting areas.
ผาแต้ม เสาเฉลียง สามพันโบกควรไปช่วงเช้า เพราะสายๆๆจะร้อนมาก ต้องหาร่มหรือไม่ก็ใส่แขนยาวไปเที่ยว ส่วนน้ำตกแสงจันทร์(น้ำตกรู) ต้องไปหน้าฝนหรือไม่ก็ปลายฝนต้นหนาว เพราะไปหน้าหนาวน้ำแล้ง ไปถึงอาจจะเจอแต่รู เพราะน้ำสักหยดก็ไม่มีให้เห็น
เป็นเมืองที่เงียบสงบดี มีวัดมากมายให้เข้าไปสักการะ สวยงามทั้งนั้น นอกจากนั้นยังมีสถานที่ท่องเที่ยวต่างๆมากมาย เช่นโขงเจียม สามพันโบก แก่งสะพือ น้ำตกแสงจันทร์ น้ำตกทุ่งนาเมือง และอีกมากมาย

More about Ubon Ratchathani
Ubon is rich in Isaan culture – a confluence of Thai, Laotian, and Cambodian cultures. The food of the Isaan region is a favorite all over the country. As one of Thailand's poorer and less developed provinces, Ubon also provides respite from the bigger cities and gives travelers a more complete picture of rural life in Thailand.
For sightseers, Ubon's attractions are mainly related to Buddhism. There are several wats around the city, some of which take up residence in the forest and are popular centers for meditation and vipassana. Wat Ban Na Muang showcases some beautiful craftsmanship with an assembly hall appearing as a boat and an ordination hall shaped like a royal barge. Though Ubon is a relatively small and laidback city, there are some luxury Ubon hotels along the Mekong and the Khongjiam rivers. The city center and national parks host a collection of accommodation options as well.
Activities in Ubon center mainly on the national parks. Hiking and forest trekking are worthwhile pursuits, and Phu Chong Na Yoi National Park is home to waterfalls, mountain trails, rock formations, cliff lookouts, and hot springs.
