Holidays in Bon

Your last proper vacay feel like it was eons ago? No dramas — book a ticket to Bon and you'll be away in a flash!

It lies 480 kilometres to the east of Bangkok, the capital of Thailand.

Travel 25 kilometres to the north and you'll stumble upon Ubon Ratchathani. It's popular for some excellent sights, including the Wat Ban Na Muang and the Wat Thung Sri Maueng.

Sisaket sits 45 kilometres from Bon and is a vital part of the local area. Nearby attractions include 80th Chaloem Phrakiat Park, the Wat Maha Puttharam and the Sisaket Rajabhat University. Got more time to kill? Sisaket Aquarium and Tak Khun Ampai Panich are also within reach.

Eating is one of life's greatest pleasures, and since you're reading this, you probably think travel is too. Combine your hunger for both by venturing out and trying the local cuisine at a handful of the bars, cafés and restaurants across town.

Looking for some insight into the regional cuisine? We suggest you get a taste for dill and sticky rice, two common ingredients which make up dishes here.

There's always a local meal or two you must try, and while you're in Bon, tom saep (hot and sour meat soup) is one of them. Koi pla (spicy raw fish salad) is another local classic that isn't to be missed.

Your time spent in the Ubon Ratchathani region will certainly be more satisfying if you make the effort to memorise a few of the local expressions and greetings. You'll be glad you learnt 'Raa-kaa tâo rài?', which translates as 'how much is this?'. One more common phrase is 'Yàak dtên ram măi?' ('would you like to dance?').

If you've got the good luck to be in Bon on the 5th of December, get ready to have a ball! Birthday of King Phumiphon sees crowds of locals getting out and about and celebrating.

It's always a shame to say "Læ̂w phb kạn h̄ım̀" to Bon, but don't worry, it will still be there next time!

When it's time to fly back home, give yourself plenty of time to reach Siem Reap International Airport (REP). Sitting 210 kilometres to the southwest from the centre of Bon, this is the closest terminal.
