Travel in Ubon Ratchathani
Ubon is a little short on must-see sights, although there are a few mildly interesting temples.
Thung Si Muang Park
Located at the center of town in front of City Hall, this pleasant little park has several points of interest:
A bright yellow elaborately carved candle sculpture, completed in 2000, standing 22 meters tall and dedicated to the King, showcases Isaan art styles and has become the symbol of the city. The candle is placed on a junk, with a garuda eagle at the bow and a naga serpent around it.
A statue of Phra Phatumvoraratsuriyawang commemorates the tersely named founder of the town.
A Monument of Merit has been erected by former World War II POWs to commemorate the kindness of the people of Ubon.
