Araya Resort Khong Chiam Riverside

3.9(492 reviews)

Araya Resort Khong Chiam Riverside sits along the Mun River in Khong Chiam, a small district town in Ubon Ratchathani province known for being near the confluence of the Mun and Mekong rivers — a scenic natural landmark referred to locally as the "Two-Colour River." The resort's riverside setting gives it a geographic advantage for travellers exploring this quiet corner of northeastern Thailand. Guests can expect a relaxed, low-key atmosphere typical of provincial riverside accommodation in the region. The property caters to travellers seeking a base from which to explore nearby attractions such as Pha Taem National Park, its prehistoric cliff paintings, and the scenic Mekong riverside. With a rating sitting in the mid-range, the resort suits travellers with modest expectations who prioritise location and river access over luxury amenities. Good to know: Khong Chiam is best visited between November and February when the dry season brings cooler temperatures and clearer views of the two-coloured river. As no website is currently listed, travellers are advised to contact the resort directly or book through a third-party accommodation platform to confirm availability and current pricing before making the trip, as this part of Ubon Ratchathani sees limited tourism infrastructure compared to larger Thai destinations.

Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.

Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive
