Ubon Ratchathani, Regional capital in northeastern Thailand
Ubon Ratchathani stands along the northern bank of the Mun River, spreading across elevated plateaus at 125 meters above sea level.
Lao princes established the settlement in 1779 when King Taksin of Siam granted them refuge, naming it the Royal City of the Lotus.
The Candle Festival in July transforms the city streets with grand wax sculptures, marking the start of the Buddhist Lent period.
Visitors reach the city through Ubon Ratchathani International Airport, with regular flights connecting to Bangkok in one hour and fifteen minutes.
Ancient red cliff paintings at nearby Pha Taem National Park date back 3,000 years and display the first sunrise views in Thailand.
