BUN AWAY
Tucked along a side street off Uparat Road in the heart of Ubon Ratchathani, Bun Away is a casual, budget-friendly eatery that draws a steady local crowd for morning meals and midday bites. Its accessible price point makes it a practical stop for travellers looking to eat well without stretching their budget in this northeastern Thai city. Visitors can expect a relaxed, neighbourhood atmosphere typical of local Thai dining spots in the region. The setting is unpretentious and welcoming, suited to those who prefer eating where residents eat rather than in tourist-facing establishments. The daily opening hours from 07:30 to 15:30 position it firmly as a breakfast and lunch destination, making it a reliable option for starting the day or refuelling after a morning of sightseeing. Good to know: Bun Away operates every day of the week, so there is no need to plan around closures. However, as a budget local spot, it tends to see higher foot traffic during peak meal hours, particularly around breakfast time. Arriving early or between the main rushes is advisable. There is no website available for advance browsing, so visiting in person is the best way to see what is on offer. The address on Soi Phlochaj 2 off Uparat Road is straightforward to locate within the city centre.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
