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

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.

The wild flower fields of Dong Na Tham are part of Pha Chana Dai. The route to Dong Na Tham forest cannot be just driven because the route is quite brutal, more than 2 and a half hours, with rocks and potholes.

If you go in and don't know the driving line, the car may hit rocks and break in the middle of the road. It's not worth it. Park your car at the Na Pho Klang Subdistrict Administrative Organization and use the services of the locals who are familiar with the route. The round trip fare is only 2,000 baht. The main flowers here are 3 types. The blue flowers are Dusita, the yellow ones are Dok Soi Suwan, the white ones are Mani Deva, and the light purple ones are Dok Tip Kesorn, which bloom together in alternating colors beautifully. The real flowers are quite small. To get a picture, you have to bend down and lie flat on the ground. But you can't do anything to Bomiko because the real thing is very beautiful. If you have the chance, Bomiko would like to recommend that you try it. It's a good experience. #WinterMountainTravel #FlowerFieldTravel #UbonRatchathani
