Situated along the Mekong River and sharing its border with Laos, Ubon Ratchathani is a true hidden gem with stunning natural attractions, incredible Buddhist temples, remarkable historical sites and untouched off-the-beaten-path. After a short flight of nearly 1 hour, you will definitely have an authentic Thai experience away from the hustle and bustle big cities and totally immerse into nature.
Situated outside of Ubon Ratchathani city, Wat Phra That Nong Bua is worth the effort to reach because of its unique architecture since this wat is inspired by the construction of Mahabodhi Bodhgaya temple in India. Spend your time to walk around the beautiful temple with a peaceful atmosphere and enjoy the abundance of artworks in each corner.
Situated nearly 200m above the Mekong River, Pha Taem National Park is a special home to an abundance of prehistoric art, a great number of marked viewpoints, stunning fields of colourful flowers, outstanding waterfalls, ancient rock paintings and a diversity of fauna and flora which make sure you have a great adventure.
Though quite difficult to reach from the city centre, Sam Phan Bok (also known as the "Grand Canyon of Siam") still attracts a great number of tourists each year because of its beautiful and magical beauty. With around 3,000 holes and endless rocks, some people even compare it to the moon's surface.
Also having other names as "The Glowing Temple" and "Wat Sirindhorn Wararam", the beauty of Wat Phu Prao changes completely when the sun is going down. You can visit this special wat in the afternoon, spend your time to witness the breathtaking view over the Sirindhorn Lake and wait for the magical moment when the sky is getting dark.
