The scenic natural views induce a sense of tranquility, providing a soothing effect on the eyes.

A sense of tranquility washes over me as I witness the simple lifestyle of the villagers.

Tranquility washes over me as I hike through the forest, visit cascading waterfalls, and ascend to a mountaintop temple.

... This feeling is palpable when visiting "Wen Boke," a small Bru village in Khong Chiam District, Ubon Ratchathani Province. If you plan to visit Ubon, allocate several days to explore its diverse attractions. Ubon boasts numerous captivating tourist destinations and riverside communities along the Mekong River. While this village may not be a popular tourist spot, if you happen to be passing through Khong Chiam District, consider stopping by to relax, take photos, admire the scenic views, or, if fortunate, engage in conversation with the locals. They might generously guide you to nearby tourist attractions, as we had the privilege of experiencing the natural beauty of waterfalls, forests, and mountains during our visit.
