(Khongchiam Brewing)
Khongchiam Brewing is a small-batch craft brewery tucked into the village of Ban Wang Mai in Khong Chiam, one of Ubon Ratchathani's most scenic districts, known for its position near the confluence of the Mekong and Mun rivers. Operating as a passion-driven brewing project, it offers visitors a genuine taste of Thailand's growing independent craft beer scene in an area rarely associated with artisan brewing, making it a genuinely unexpected find in this corner of Isan. Guests can expect a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere suited to afternoon drinking and conversation rather than a polished restaurant experience. The brewery operates on a weekend-only schedule, opening Friday through Sunday from noon until 8:30 in the evening, which makes it a natural stop for travellers spending a long weekend exploring the Khong Chiam area, including nearby attractions such as the two-coloured river and Pha Taem National Park. Pricing sits at a mid-range level, reasonable for craft beer in a regional Thai context. Those planning a visit should note the limited opening hours and weekend-only schedule, so timing a trip accordingly is essential. As a small independent operation in a rural village setting, it is worth checking the brewery's YouTube channel in advance for any updates on availability or seasonal closures before making the journey out.

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.
