Posted on Sunday, April 26th, 2009 in ubon living – Comments: (3)Earth Day passed without much hoopla here in Ubon. Even so there are green living opportunities available to those who wish to practice this in their daily lifestyle.In many ways it’s much easier to sustain an earth friendly way of life living here in Ubon Ratchathani. But in other ways bad habits that western societies developed and have been fighting hard to overcome.You can join the ranks for motorcycle riders in Ubon. Motorcycles are cheap and easy to get. They are much easier to get around town and find places to park than a sedan, pickup or SUV. They are also much easier on the pocketbook when stopping at a petrol station.

Posted on Sunday, April 5th, 2009 in ubon living – Comments: (4)Customs and Immigration Service for Ubon Ratchathani is located in a the small village district of Phiboon Mangsahan. It is located 40kms east of Ubon city on the way to Chong Mek or Khong Jiam.You can get there by bus or truck from Ubon main bus terminal or at WarinChamrap in front of the market. One way will cost you 40 baht or less and normally the trip is less than one hour.You can also drive there by car or motorcycle. I know one guy who frequently rides his bicycle to take care of his business at Immigration.As we expats know and maybe many travelers too, visa matters are serious and can often times make for big headaches.
- New Ubon Attraction Sam Pan Bok
Posted on Saturday, April 11th, 2009 in ubon attractions – Comments: (2)There are many tourist attractions around Ubon Ratchathani that do not get much promotion. But lately I have noticed many billboards with pictures of a place on the Mekong River.Maybe you have seen them too, if you live in Ubon. I got curious and asked around. I discovered it was a place over in Pho Sai district named Sam Pan Bok, meaning 3000 Holes in Thai. I could smell another adventure coming.It was time to make a trip to Immigration in Phibun Mangsahan so I planned to add a journey to check out this famous holes on the river. I planned an early departure to make sure there was time to take in the sights.

Our favorite was the post on “Sam Pan Bok.” Very descriptive, travelogue-type commentary, and great accompanying photos. We had never even heard of the place until we read about it here. We’ll be visiting Ubon in Nov this year, and may try to visit it (if it’s open). It certainly does have an unusual look to it. Regards from Ken C., San Diego, CA.
Ken,
Thanks for the comment and the kind words.
It is a rather amazing sight.
Unfortunately, it will go into hibernation beneath the rising waters of the Mekhong probably in July and will not be seen again until the waters receed most likely in January.
Definitely a seasonal site.
