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.

Why go, and how to do it well

Situated in the small riverside town of Khong Chiam, Rim Khong Restaurant occupies a convenient spot for travelers exploring one of Ubon Ratchathani's most scenic corners — the meeting point of the Mekong and Mun rivers, known locally as the Two-Color River. The restaurant's name, which loosely translates to "beside the Khong," reflects its riverside setting and makes it a natural stopping point for those visiting the area's natural attractions.

Diners can expect a casual, relaxed atmosphere typical of local riverside eateries in northeastern Thailand. The menu focuses on Thai food suited to a mid-range budget, making it an accessible option for both independent travelers and families passing through Khong Chiam. The setting is informal rather than polished, with the appeal lying more in its location and local character than in fine dining.

Practically speaking, Rim Khong opens earlier on weekends — from 07:00 on Saturdays and Sundays — making it a reasonable choice for an early meal before heading out to nearby Pha Taem National Park or the riverbanks. Weekday hours begin slightly later, from 08:00 or 08:30 depending on the day, and the restaurant closes by 20:30 on most evenings. As no website is listed, visitors are advised to check current opening times locally, particularly during public holidays or low season when hours in small towns can vary.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

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.

Use Grab for Delivery

The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
