Ubon Ratchathani 7
Ubon city has some very nice restaurants and shops, but it's all spread out and takes a while to find them. I would recommend a guide or a local to get you started. They also have a great candle festival every year around July. Look up Ubon Candle Festival on You Tube. Out of the city are many great parks, temples and historical places to visit.
