Ubon Ratchathani, Administrative province in northeastern Thailand.

Situated 615 kilometers from Bangkok, Ubon Ratchathani Province extends across the Mun River valley and shares borders with Laos and Cambodia.

The province gained its administrative status in 1792 when Thao Kham Phong established the territory during King Taksin's reign as a settlement for Laotian migrants.

The July Candle Festival marks Buddhist Lent with large processions displaying intricately carved wax sculptures that demonstrate local craftsmanship and religious devotion.

The regional airport and railway station connect the province to Bangkok, while the Mekong River provides essential water resources for agriculture and transportation.

At Khong Chiam district, the convergence of the Mekong and Mun rivers creates a natural phenomenon where brown and blue waters flow side by side.
