Ubon Ratchathani - Yasothon Tour 2 Days 2 Nights (BEST OF UBON-YASOTHON 2 DAYS)

On Friday evening, we will pick you up from Ubon Ratchathani Airport and take you to the Ratchabut Night Market to shop for a wide variety of affordable goods. At the appropriate time, we will transfer you to your hotel in Ubon Ratchathani Province.

After breakfast, we will travel to Yasothon Province, departing at 9.30. Around 10.30, we will visit and pay respects at the City Pillar Shrine, renowned for its architectural blend of 3 cultural styles: Thai, Lao, and Chinese.

It is also the only City Pillar Shrine in Thailand featuring 3 pillars. The two pillars flanking the central pillar are believed to house the guardian spirits Phra La Ngum and Phra La Ngam, protectors of this shrine.

In front of the shrine stands the Nang Pom cannon, granted by King Rama IV to protect the city.

Afterward, visit Phraya Khankhak Museum, also known as the “Toad Museum,” located at Phraya Thaen Public Park along Lam Thuan Reservoir. Inside, a 4D movie showcases over 20 species of toads found in Thailand.

We will take you to take photos with the giant Naga statue nearby.

12.30: Lunch.

13.30: Visit “Wat Mahathat,” the landmark temple of Yasothon and home to the sacred Phra Phuttha Bunyarat Buddha image.

Next, visit “Ban Sing Tha", an old quarter featuring historic shophouses with charming designs and patterns, perfect for exploring local arts and culture.

Visit “Phra That Kong Khao Noi,” a Khmer-era pagoda. The legend of Kong Khao Noi tells the story of a young farmer who worked in the fields from morning until afternoon until he was exhausted and famished. When his mother brought him a small box of rice, he thought it would not be enough to satisfy his hunger, and in a fit of rage, killed her. Realizing afterward that he could not even finish the rice she had brought, he was overcome with guilt and built this Phra That Kong Khao Noi pagoda to seek forgiveness and atone for his sin of matricide.

In the evening, enjoy dinner and check in to your hotel in Yasothon Province.

After breakfast, we will take you back to Ubon Ratchathani Province to pay homage at “Wat Nong Bua.” Admire Phra That Chedi Si Maha Pho, modeled after the Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya, India, where the Buddha attained enlightenment. Built in 2500 (B.E.), it commemorates the 25th century of Buddhism.

Next, we head to Wat Nong Pah Pong, which has over 300 branches worldwide, to visit:

- Ordination Hall (Ubosot)

-Bodhinyana Pagoda

-Bell tower
