The 10 Best Activities & Tours in Ubon Ratchathani, Ranked
This lot is heavy on the outdoors: national parks, riverbanks and public green space, with only one actual tour operator making the cut at the bottom. Pha Taem is the one I'd build a day around, with its cliff paintings and Mekong views pulling nearly as much attention as the city centre square at the top. Ranked by Google rating, with review volume breaking the ties, which is why the big city-side draws sit ahead of quieter spots like Nong Bua.
The 10 Best Hotels in Ubon Ratchathani, Ranked
This list is mostly city-centre hotels, with two riverside resorts out at Khong Chiam for anyone who'd rather wake up to the Mekong than a shopping complex. B2 Ubon Premier takes the top spot on rating and it's the cheap one, which is a rare combination. Ranked by Google rating, with review volume breaking the ties.
The 10 Best Markets in Ubon Ratchathani, Ranked
This lot splits roughly down the middle: night markets that fire up around 5pm and everyday shopping centres you can wander any time of day. Thung Sri Muang Night Market takes the top spot on sheer weight of opinion, running nightly in the centre of town from half four. Three of them sit along Chayangkun Road, and Riverside Walking Street is the odd one out, weekends only by the Mun. Ranked on Google rating, with review volume breaking the ties.
The 10 Best Nightlife Spots in Ubon Ratchathani, Ranked
This is a mid-priced list from top to bottom, mostly small city bars and pubs rather than clubs, with three of them sitting on Thepyothi Road alone. LunarLane takes the top spot on the strength of review volume as much as its score, though I'd point night owls at Mixx66, which runs to 5am when the rest have shut. Ranked on Google rating, with reviews breaking the ties.
The 10 Best Restaurants in Ubon Ratchathani, Ranked
This is a mixed bag of cheap local eateries, mid-range bar-restaurants and a couple of all-day cafés, with most of the city centre covered and one outlier over in Warin Chamrap. TETSU takes the top spot for me, a Japanese place that pulls big crowds without pushing prices up. Ranked by Google rating, with review volume breaking the ties.
The 10 Best Spas & Wellness Spots in Ubon Ratchathani, Ranked
Most of this lot are plain traditional Thai massage shops in the town centre, with only a couple of proper day spas in the mix. YUSUNSEN takes the top spot on rating with a solid pile of reviews behind it, though UbonVej pulls the bigger crowd overall. Prices are rarely published here, and several stay open until 10pm or later, with Z-Through on Khuanthani Road going until 1am. Ranked by Google rating, review volume breaking ties.
The 10 Best Temples & Cultural Sites in Ubon Ratchathani, Ranked
This is temple country, so seven of the ten are working Buddhist sites, padded out with a museum, a monk's memorial and a sandstone rock park at Sao Chaliang. Wat Sirindhorn Wararam Phu Phrao takes the top spot and pulls the biggest crowd of reviewers by some way, mostly for those glowing murals. Ranking's by Google rating, with review volume splitting the ties.
