Khong Chiam, Administrative district in Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand.
Khong Chiam district extends across 765 square kilometers of land where the Mun River connects with the Mekong River at Thailand's easternmost point.
The district received its official designation in 1959 and derives its name from ancient references to areas where large elephant herds gathered together.
Buddhist temples throughout Khong Chiam maintain centuries-old religious practices while local artisans continue traditional silk weaving and basket making techniques.
Visitors can reach Khong Chiam via regular bus services from Ubon Ratchathani, with the journey covering approximately 84 kilometers through rural landscapes.
The meeting point of the Mun and Mekong rivers creates a natural phenomenon where two distinct water colors flow side by side without mixing.
