The 10 Best Hotels in Ubon Ratchathani, Ranked
This list is mostly city-center 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 and it's the cheap one, which is a rare combination.
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, though I'd point night owls at Mixx66, which runs to 5am when the rest have shut.
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 center 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.
The 10 Best Spas & Wellness Spots in Ubon Ratchathani, Ranked
Most of this lot are plain traditional Thai massage shops in the town center, with only a couple of proper day spas in the mix. YUSUNSEN takes the top spot, though UbonVej is the busier one. Prices are rarely published here, and several stay open until 10pm or later, with Z-Through on Khuanthani Road going until 1am.
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, mostly for those glowing murals.
The 9 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 center square at the top.
The 9 Best Markets in Ubon Ratchathani, Ranked
This lot splits roughly down the middle: night markets that fire up around 5pm and everyday shopping centers you can wander any time of day. Thung Sri Muang Night Market takes the top spot, running nightly in the center 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.
