Day by day
Day 1
Upon your arrival in Ubon Ratchathani Province, we will welcome you at Ubon Ratchathani Airport and take you out for dinner. Afterward, enjoy a stroll through the Ratchabut Night Market to sample delicious treats or shop for affordable goods. You may also visit the Sunee Grand night market at your convenience, before we transfer you to your hotel.
Day 2
In the morning, enjoy breakfast at your hotel. Then, we will take you to pay respects at “Wat Nong Bua” to admire Phra That Chedi Sri Maha Pho, modeled after the Mahabodhi Temple at the site of the Buddha's enlightenment in Bodh Gaya, India. Built in 1957 (B.E. 2500), it commemorates the 25th century of Buddhism.
Afterward, we visit “Wat Ban Na Mueang” (also known as “Wat Sa Prasan Suk”) to see the beautiful ordination hall (ubosot) built in the shape of the Suphannahong royal barge and adorned with exquisite ceramic tiles.
Next, we travel to Trakan Phuet Phon District, where you can take photos with the largest woven rice basket in Thailand.
We then visit “Nikhom Kasem,” a model community dedicated to preserving the traditions and culture of the Isan people.
See the traditional Thio-pattern fabric weaving and watch local artisans craft various woven handicrafts, such as storage boxes, lamps, and keychains.
Take a relaxing walk along the cultural street, decorated with colorful fluttering flags lining the road. Every morning, this street corner is where locals gather for morning almsgiving—a rare and charming sight compared to big cities. Villagers wear traditional attire: women in sinh skirts and men in Thai sarongs with traditional woven sashes, representing the unique identity of Trakan Phuet Phon.
The district also features an OTOP center where the top-selling product is high-quality chemical-free germinated brown rice, rich in vitamin E to help alleviate various menopause-related symptoms.
We take you to visit “Wat Kasem Samran,” which serves not only as a temple but also as a museum preserving rare antiques and local history for visitors to explore.
A short distance away, walk across the “Kanchanaphisek Suspension Bridge.” Crossing over, you will be greeted by stunning, eye-catching golden-yellow sunn hemp fields in full bloom.
You will also see a massive “Yang Na tree” (Dipterocarpus alatus) with a trunk measuring 6 people's arm spans around, recognized as one of the kingdom's venerable heritage trees under royal benevolence.
Afterward, we travel back to Ubon Ratchathani (approx. 50 km). Stop for dinner while watching the sunset at “Huai Wang Nong,” a large reservoir where many locals come to exercise in the mornings and evenings—
whether paddling, walking, jogging, or cycling along the 8.5 km scenic perimeter loop.
You can choose from a wide variety of local lakeside restaurants while admiring the magnificent view of the sunset over Huai Wang Nong.
After dinner, we will transfer you to the airport, or drop you off at your hotel as you prefer.
