Ubon City Tour Program (UBON ONLY 1 DAYS)

 We have designed several routes for our one-day Ubon Ratchathani tour. This is another relaxing route for lovers of lush green fields, taking you to a traditional walkway through the rice paddies, a field-side café, and iconic temples in Ubon Ratchathani. Ideal during the season when the rice paddies are at their prettiest for vibrant green photos.

1 - Day 1: Morning pick-up at Ubon Ratchathani International Airport or other designated location

Stop for breakfast at “Pak Mor Robot,” “Samchai Coffee,” or “Guay Jub Ocha” as you prefer, and savor an authentic Ubon Ratchathani breakfast.

In the morning, visit “Wat Thung Si Mueang.” The wooden Tripitaka library (Ho Trai) in the middle of a pond was built in central Thai traditional house style over water. It represents an artistic blend of Thai, Lao, and Burmese styles. The smooth wooden walls feature traditional wooden framing (fa pakon), and inside are gilded black-lacquer scripture cabinets. The gabled roof combines Thai and Burmese art, adorned with chofah, bai raka, nak sadung, and hang hong. The roof has 2 tiers. The carved patterns on both 2 gables are in Lao style. The lower wooden panels feature carvings of various zodiac animals, and 2 eaves-supporting brackets carved as Thepphanom figures stand in front of the door, with Naga figures surrounding the rest.

“Wat Maha Wanaram” or “Wat Pa Yai,” a historic temple of the city, was built in 1807 (B.E. 2350) by Phra Khru Si Satthammawongsa. Pay homage to Phra Chao Yai In Paeng, a sacred Buddha image deeply revered by the people of Ubon.

Afterward, visit “Wat Sa Prasan Suk,” known for its ordination hall shaped like the Suphannahong royal barge. This temple is widely revered by Buddhists thanks to the spiritual grace of Luang Pu Boonmee, who was strict in monastic discipline and a monk of the Dhammayuttika order, drawing many visitors to admire the temple and make merit. Highlights and beautiful architecture include the ceramic-decorated bell tower, the Luang Pu Boonmee Museum, and the Viharn Klang Nam Ruea Dhamma Nakharat—or simply known as the Viharn Klang Nam—built over water atop a boat-shaped Naga king with a 5-headed Naga bow. The walkway leading into the pavilion runs along the Naga’s tail, and the large arched gateway (Pratu Khong) depicts Lord Indra riding a grand Erawan elephant (three-headed elephant). Entering the temple requires walking under the elephant’s belly at the gate, believed to bring good fortune and ward off bad luck for all visitors.

Lunch: Recommended som tum restaurants (Wang Kaew / Som Tum Pornthip / Som Tum Tor Bor / Sam Chai Grilled Chicken / Khrua Chakkraphat / Som Tum Jinda), which you can choose according to your preference, or enjoy Vietnamese food at “Agave Restaurant”? or “Indochine”.

In the afternoon, travel to visit “Khua Noi Ban Chi Thuan,” a bridge connecting the communities of Ban Nong Khaen and Ban Chi Thuan. Originally an earthen dike through rice fields, local villagers gathered leftover wood from cremations to build a wooden bridge for easier travel, and later organized a Pha Pa merit-making ceremony to raise funds for this concrete bridge. This bridge was truly born from the love and unity of the local villagers.

Pay homage at “Wat Thung Si Wilai” to worship Phra Phuttha Wiset, a laterite Buddha statue in meditation posture under a Naga canopy (Naga Prok), over 1,000 years old, revered by the people of Ban Chi Thuan.

It is believed that during the time of Prince Sapphasitthiprasong and his consort Mom Chiang Kham, they came to pray for a child and were granted their wish. Inside the vihara, there are 2 other sacred Buddha images: Phra Ruang Rotchanarit on the right and Luang Pho Chaiyasit on the left.

Next, visit “Wat That Suan Tan,” where Phra That Suan Tan is the main stupa or chedi of the temple, constructed of brick and coated with phrathai—a traditional mortar made by finely grinding stone and mixing it with sugarcane juice, bong resin, and roasted dried buffalo hide pounded together in an earthen pit until smooth, with durability and adhesion similar to cement. Modeled after Phra That Phanom, with a base 30 feet wide and 60 feet high, it is estimated to have been built around 1702-1712 (2245-2255 BE). Remarkably, Phra That Suan Tan collapsed on Asalha Puja Day, the evening of July 23, 1975 (2518 BE), just 18 days before Phra That Phanom collapsed as well.

Take you to enjoy coffee overlooking the rice fields with a great atmosphere at “Ma-Na-Der Cafe,” a trendy cafe in the province.

Return to Mueang district to shop for local souvenirs such as Vietnamese pork sausage (moo yor), Chinese sausage, fermented pork (naem), and noodles for Vietnamese noodle soup. Take you to have dinner at a local restaurant (we can provide recommendations to your liking), and transfer you to the airport for your safe and memorable journey back to Bangkok.
