T3 House
( 0 4524 4911; Th Saphasit; r 600-700B; )
This new hotel isn't exactly beautiful, but it
doesn't follow the cookie-cutter design you expect in Thailand, and the rooms have plenty
of nice little touches: the owners particularly proud of the 'rain shower'. Solid all around
except for one glaring design flaw to note…watch your head going up the stairs.

Th Palochai; r incl breakfast 1200-1800B, ste 4000B; )
The
tasteful decor here almost manages to hide Tohsang's age. The lobby is downright elegant
while the rooms are as comfortable as they should be at these prices. They'll pick you up
for free when you arrive.

The Sunee Grand is Ubon's best, and far less expensive than anything sim-
ilar outside Isan. From the stylish light fixtures to the at-a-snap service, it will meet ex-
pectations. There's a large business centre, and a piano player in the lobby, and the adja-
cent shopping mall has a kid-sized rooftop water park. They sometimes discount rooms
down to 1100B.

(Th Nakhonban; dishes 45-280B; 9.30am-8.30pm; )
What this Ubon institution lacks in service,
it more than makes up for with excellent food using family recipes and only fresh ingredi-
ents: the meals look like they are straight out of a foodie magazine photo shoot. Many
people swear by the ox-tongue stew. It's the restaurant with the bold plate, fork and spoon
sign.
