Ubon Ratchathani is another province in the lower northeastern region that has many beautiful tourist attractions. Each place has its own unique beauty according to the season. Visiting it once is not enough to see everything. For this trip, we only had 2 days and 1 night. Let's see where we went (a relaxing trip plan, a lazy trip, a tight car 😬😬) 👉Day 1 📍Pha Taem National Park - Wake up at 5 am to see the first light of the sun at Pha Taem, see the view of the Mekong River that separates Thailand and Laos. 📍Memories Cafe - Near Pha Taem National Park, stop for coffee, eat, and enjoy the view before continuing the trip to "Saeng Chan Waterfall". 📍Saeng Chan Waterfall, Khong Chiam District - About 40 km from Pha Taem. When we went, the water level was low, but it was still beautiful. We actually planned to go and see the sunset at Sam Phan Bok, but we got too caught up in the trip and didn't have enough time, so we went to find a place to stay near Wat Phu Phrao. 📍Wat Sirindhorn Wararam Phu Phrao, Chong Mek, Sirindhorn District - After checking in and having dinner, in the evening we traveled to Wat Phu Phrao, a beautiful temple with glowing light, which is considered very unseen for us. After praying and taking pictures, we returned to the accommodation and rested. 👉Day 2 📍Huai Luang Waterfall, Phu Chong Na Yoi National Park - It took almost 2 hours to drive from the accommodation to Huai Luang Waterfall. We left early in the morning, arrived at the park, recharged, and had breakfast because we had to walk down more than 200 steps before we could play in the waterfall (very tiring, my legs were shaking😰😰). When we arrived, we spent almost half a day playing in the water and soaking in the water before returning to Buriram to sleep. 🚘🚘 The end of the Ubon Ratchathani trip. #Songkran2024Travel #WhereToTravelInUbon #SummerTravel

Come to visit Ubon. This is another place that everyone must come to. Pha Taem National Park is located near the Mekong River, Khong Chiam District. The border of Thailand. We drove out of the city for about 2 hours. The asphalt road is easy to drive. We fell asleep twice and arrived. The parking lot at Pha Taem is on the cliff. From this point, we can stand and enjoy the view along the cliff. We can look down to the Mekong River, green areas, and Laos in the distance. The view is worth millions. It is very refreshing. Then we walked down to see the ancient paintings from prehistoric times. There are many pictures. Some spots have clear colors. Some spots are starting to fade. But it is enough for us to see what the pictures are. I would like to invite everyone to come see. Impressive.

Sao Chaliang, a giant mushroom pillar, over a million years old Sao Chaliang, Ubon Ratchathani Province, is located in Pha Taem National Park, Khong Chiam District, Ubon Ratchathani Province. It is considered a popular historical tourist attraction in Ubon Ratchathani. Each pillar is about 20 meters high and is made of sandstone that has been eroded and eroded by nature, both water and wind, until it has the strange shape that you see. This sculpture is a sculpture of sandstone from 2 eras: Cretaceous sandstone, which is about 130 million years old, is the mushroom part on top. The other era is Dinosaur sandstone, which is about 180 million years old, is the beginning of the lower pillar. Both parts have been washed away by weather, rain, and storms for millions of years. After a while, there will be a natural resistance process until the pressure of raindrops makes the sandstone stronger, allowing it to be preserved as Sao Chaliang.
