Outside Inn

Top choice in Ubon Ratchathani


A nice little garden lounge area sets the relaxed, communal vibe here. The rooms are large, comfy and fitted with tastefully designed reclaimed-timber furnishings. Owners Brent and Tun are great hosts, cook some good food, and have lots of advice on what to see and do in the area.

It's a long walk to the town's main attractions, but there are bikes (free for guests; 50B per day for others) and motorcycles (per day 250B), and sŏrng·tăa·ou 10 can deliver you from the bus station.
