Attraction Details :
Hat Salueng is located in Ban Song Khon, Song Khon Sub-district, Pho Sai District, Ubon Ratchathani Province. It is approximately 115 kilometers from the city center of the province along the highway number 2050 (Ubon Ratchathani- Trakan Phuet Phon- Pho Sai). As for the history of its name “Hat Salueng,” it is believed that during the time when a twenty-five-satang (salueng) coin could buy a buffalo, those who joined Songkran festival at the beach had come up with a challenge. The bet was that anyone who was able to walk or run along the path on the beach (860 meters) at noon in the middle of April without resting could get the betting money for 1 salueng. Since the bet was set up, no one had won the money. The villagers, therefore, call this beach “Hat Salueng.”
