Ubon Ratchathani city lays a large field.It is watched over by Wat Suthatanaram and the provincial court to the north, Provincial Hall and Wat Si Ubon to the West, an educational institution to the East, Ubon Hotel and Joss House to the South.
A photograph from 1968 shows Tung Sri Muang, City Field, as not much more than a large grassy bare area. It is difficult to find historical archives so I must just imagine it was basically there for provincial ceremonies and functions, religious ceremonies and functions, and festivals. Looking at the photograph I was reminded of the many parade fields I stood and marched upon for change of command and other military ceremonies during my days in uniform.
Today Tung Sri Muang looks much different than it did even back in 1968. It has evolved and expanded its character and the services it provides.
