Thread: Ubon Ratchatani March 2016.

Turn left and mosey right along. All towns on the river make good use of it. I love sitting, having a feed a few beers and watching the locals do their thing.

Starting to set up for the night.

This was a coffee shop but it sold beer. Ya gota love that EH.

A nice little runner here.

Been through Ubon maybe a half a dozen times but never lingered, the last time we were on a road trip from Vientiane to koh Chang and got there about 9 at night and just wanted to sleep, did go to the mall though sounds like it's worth further investigation.

How do car batteries fare up that way Tel?

You seem to have a real passion for these shitty little towns Tel, get yourself over to the UK mate: youd love Bromsgrove

Just kiddin mate, thanks for sharing your random pics of motorbikes and street vendors

Opened about 3.5 years ago. It's not that big. Central Udon is twice the size as are those at Pattaya and Rama9

1, 2 and 3 above.

Car batteries work fine in Ubon.

No, I ain't going to shitty old England

And that Central store was a big fuker in my books.

Everybody happy now.

8 years ago Ubon seemed like a small town to me, I had no wheels then so did not see much.

On this trip I told my Handbag to research all the tourist stuff between Ubon, Khong-Chiam, up to khemerat and back again.

That little circuit worked out at 1000K by the time we back tracked and hit the out of the way places.

A shit load to see and do in the Ubon area.

Just need wheels, a bit of research before heading out and stamina to put in the leg work.

Will go back up this year in the cool season and do the National park again.

Bloody brilliant stuff.

Oh yes, don't forget the GPS.

So where was I. Oh yes. Very clean river the Mon.

This house over looked the River. Nice life style these lot have.

The bars are spread out along the river. There is not a lot of them which is a good thing.

Nice spot just to hang out.

This was around 6.30 PM, no one out here yet.

This guy wasn't sayin much.

These school girls were a bit more fun though.

No pics of MeMock's place?

Another bike shot especially for Mao.

Another one for Mao. A cracker example of a fully restored 60's Vespa. Bloody beauty.

The next day we hit Ubon Airport to pick up our wheels.

A new Honda Brio. Achieved 15 KLM to 1 litre of fuel. Great little tourer.
Paid 600 Baht per day, Special deal from Bangkok travel show.

My Hand bag told me she wanted to go to Ubon Rachatani open Zoo. I punched it into the GPS and off we went. Well worth the visit.

Have a look at the back of Rotfai market behind Seacon Square for loads of these and some stunning 60s american convertibles.

Is that the one at the other side of the river, heading out towards Si sa ket? Last time I drove past there, they were just finishing it off. Might have call in and have a look when I pass next.
