next step is to probably go out shopping.
As usual in the rest of Thailand,
Ubon Ratchatani has a large variety
memorabilia to offer for the traveler’s
fond memories. Most special are the
khit pillows, the hand-woven cotton, the
basketry as well as the aforementioned
silk products and brass and bronze
metallurgic ornaments. These can be
purchased in the many souvenir shops
along the streets, be it from individual
vendors or established businesses.
Try to go to Ubon Ratchatani between
December and February to find the
most accommodating climate, this
will make it easy to travel without
worrying excessively about the heat. As
per transportation times and methods,
Ubon Ratchatani is around eight to
eleven hours from Bangkok by land,
buses leave Hua Lumpong station and
prices are affordable. Equally if you feel
adventurous, you can always take the
train, much cheaper, much noisier and
much more fun! But if you’re in a hurry
to get there, try the direct flight from
Suvarnabhumi Airport which currently
fly there three times a day.
As a whole, Ubon Ratchatani is a truly
marvelous and exciting place to visit: rich
with history, filled with exciting natural
beauty and boasting wonderful cuisine
and culture.
