Ubon Ratchatani

Ubon Ratchatani, the north-east's largest city, is located 270km from Nakhorm Ratchasima, and 560km from Bangkok. There are not many tourist attractions but this does not mean that Ubon is not worth a visit. It has several temples and the annual candle festival attracts many local visitors. This begins on Khao Pansa Day (in late July) and lasts for 5 days.
