Ubon explored

Mekong river life + Angkor temple of Phra Wihan

Home > Sightseeing tours > Ubon explored

Day 1. Mekong river
Morning pickup from your hotel in Ubon. Enjoy the scenic views of the "Two color river" where the blue colored Moon and the muddy Mekong rivers merge. Take a boat trip over the Mekong river and see the Mekong style of living. Fishing and weaving are the most important sources of income. Lunch in Khong Chiam at one of the Mekong raft restaurants. Visit the Chong Mek border market, then onward to the rock cliffs of Pha Taem which can be reached via a 500 meter long trail. Enjoy the magnificent late afternoon views from the cliff over the Mekong and over the mountains of Laos, beautifully lightened by the setting sun. Transfer to Lai Thong hotel in Ubon Ratchatani where you will stay overnight.

The magnificent Khmer temple complex of Phra Wihan Day 2. Khao Phra Wihan
The Angkor temple complex of Khao Phra Wihan on the Cambodian border was built even before its famous brother, the Angkor Wat in the heart of Cambodia. Unlike other Angkor temples in Thailand the Khao Phra Wihan temple has not undergone the restoration efforts of the Fine Arts Department. This only adds to the sense of drama and historical value. Walk up the steep stairway to the centre on a cliff-top. Watch the spectacular views overlooking the virgin Cambodian countryside. Later today visit the Pha Moh Ee Daeng cliff. Rock carvings exhibit many similarities to some of the Hindu subject matter at Khao Phra Wihan, but experts disagree exactly which site preceded the other. Have a light meal on the way back to Ubon. This tour ends around 18:00 hr upon arrival Ubon city (hotel, train station, bus terminal or airport) for your onward transfer (B).

Day 3 (optional).
You can also choose to stay overnight in Ubon at the end of day 2. This tour then ends upon checking out of your hotel in the morning of day 3. In that case add the price for 1 extra overnight stay to the cost of this tour.
