Where to Stay in Ubon Ratchathani: City, Warin, Khong Chiam

Ubon Ratchathani is the big city of south-east Isan, and the province stretches from the Mun River in town to the Mekong at Khong Chiam, about 80 km to the east. Where you sleep depends on whether you are here for the city, the Candle Festival and the temples, or for Pha Taem, Sam Phan Bok and the meeting of the Mekong and Mun rivers. This page covers four areas: the city centre, the Central Ubon and airport side, Warin Chamrap across the river, and Khong Chiam.

Use the quick answer above, then the area table. We show no hotel prices because rates change with dates and room type, and the booking buttons open a search for your own dates. We have not stayed at any of these hotels. Every card shows facts taken from the hotel's own website and checked on 16 October 2026 after a separate verification pass, with the source linked. Several well-known Ubon hotels have no readable official site, or only a placeholder one, so this is a checked list, not a complete one.

How to choose

1. Decide what the trip is for. For the city, the night market and temples such as Wat Thung Si Mueang, stay in the centre. For a late flight or a quick base with parking, look at the Central Ubon and airport side. For Pha Taem, Sam Phan Bok and Kaeng Tana, staying in Khong Chiam saves a drive of roughly 80 km each way (the Department of National Parks figure from Ubon to Khong Chiam).
2. Plan transport. Ubon is spread out: B2 gives 9.6 km to Thung Sri Mueang by its own list, and the Khong Chiam hotels are a long drive from town. Check a map pin for each hotel and ask about airport transfers; Arista and Laithong list them on their sites.
3. If you come for the Candle Festival, which Tohsang Heritage Ubon says takes place around July at the start of Buddhist Lent, look at hotels early. We found no verified room-count or demand figures, so this is only a sensible precaution.

No hotel price is quoted here because we cannot verify a current rate for your dates. Each hotel card gives the source and the date each fact was checked.

How you arrive

Taxi or hotel transfer; Tohsang says a 10-minute drive to the airport

Three hotels here. Tohsang Heritage Ubon says it is in the heart of the city and began as Tohsang Ubon Hotel in 1992. Arista Hotel Ubon says it is walkable to Big C and near the night market, with a fitness room and an airport shuttle. Laithong Hotel lists 124 rooms, a pool and meeting rooms for up to 1,100 guests, and some rooms overlooking the Mun River.

Choose it if: You want to be near the city sights and markets and can use taxis for the rest.

Skip it if: You want to sleep next to the Mekong or the airport.

Mistake to avoid: Do not assume everything is walkable; Tohsang gives only a drive time to the airport, so check the map for distances to Thung Si Mueang and the markets.

Three hotels. Centara Ubon says it is in the hub of Southern Isan, 6.5 km from the nearest airport, with 160 rooms and an outdoor pool. HOP INN Ubon Ratchathani says it is near Big C and Central Ubon and about 15 minutes from the airport. B2 Ubon Boutique & Budget Hotel gives its address on Ubon Ratchathani-Trakarn Road and lists 92 rooms and a car park, but also gives 9.6 km to Thung Sri Mueang.

Choose it if: You are driving, flying in late or want a chain hotel near shopping.

Skip it if: You want to walk to temples and the riverside.

Mistake to avoid: Do not treat all three as the same distance from the centre; B2 lists itself 10.2 km from Central Ubon.

Choose it if: You want a small handcrafted stay and are happy to cross the river to the city by taxi.

Tohsang Heritage Khongjiam calls itself a riverside hotel at the easternmost part of Thailand, with Indigo, Forest and Villa wings totalling 55 rooms, a pool and spa, and kayaking and a Mekong cruise listed for November to April. Khong Chiam Orchid Riverside Resort gives an address at Huai Mak Tai and lists a 50 sqm villa for 6 people, but its FAQ page has template text, so confirm details.

Choose it if: You want the Mekong and Mun rivers at the door and a base for Pha Taem.

Skip it if: You want city restaurants and nightlife on foot.

Mistake to avoid: Do not plan Sam Phan Bok for the wet season; a Khong Chiam hotel says to visit October to May when the water is low.

Hand-picked places to stay

Examples of established Ubon Ratchathani hotels, spread across areas and budget bands. Every fact below was checked against the hotel's own website or a reputable source on 2026-10-16 and links to that source. We have not stayed at these places and give no ratings; we show no prices because rates change daily. The band is the property class (hostel or guesthouse, mid-range, upscale), not a live price.

Getting to Ubon Ratchathani

Ubon Ratchathani has an airport that is also a Royal Thai Air Force base, a railway station in Warin Chamrap and a bus terminal. The button opens the 12Go Bangkok to Ubon Ratchathani page, which when we opened it in a real browser on 16 October 2026 listed bus, train, flight and taxi options and an editorial note about the Morchit bus terminal, trains and flights. We quote no fares or departures because we did not capture them. Check the arrival point and the last transport before you book.

Before you book

• Open the map link for the area and then check the hotel's exact pin. A neighbourhood name can cover a wide area.
• Check the final rate with tax, payment timing, cancellation terms and what the room includes.
• If arriving late, confirm the check-in method and the last transport that actually runs.
• The Ubon hotels with checkable official sites are fewer than the hotels listed on booking sites. We dropped hotels whose own site was missing or only a template, so a hotel not on this page is not necessarily a bad one.
• Two sites contain template text: Khong Chiam Orchid's FAQ page describes rooftop pools on a 16th floor, and Laithong's website looks dated. Confirm pools, check-in times and rooms by phone or message before you book.
