Two-Colored Riverview, Khongchiam, UbonRatchathani
Experience the magical two-colored river at Khong Chiam District.
When speaking of one of the most famous natural attractions in Ubon Ratchathani, the “Two-Colored River Viewpoint” is a place not to be missed. It is known for its unique beauty where the Mekong River and the Mun River converge, creating two distinct shades of water that can be clearly seen. This remarkable natural phenomenon leaves a lasting impression on visitors throughout the year.
This viewpoint is located in Khong Chiam District, Ubon Ratchathani Province, near Wat Khong Chiam. It offers a beautiful view of the confluence of two rivers flowing together. The Mun River is typically more turbid, while the Mekong River appears clearer, creating a striking natural boundary between the two waters. They then merge into a larger river that flows onward toward Laos and Cambodia.
The wonder of the Two-Colored River
The Two-Colored River is formed by the confluence of the Mun River, an important river in northeastern Thailand, and the Mekong River, an international river that flows through several countries in the Mekong Basin. Differences in sediment, water depth, and current speed cause the two rivers to appear distinctly different in color at certain times.
Especially during the rainy season and when water levels are suitable, visitors can clearly see the dividing line between the two rivers. This rare natural phenomenon is unique to Khong Chiam District.
Viewpoint and surrounding atmosphere
The viewpoint area provides space for relaxation and photography, offering scenic views of the Mekong River stretching across mountains and rich natural surroundings. The atmosphere is peaceful and quiet, making it ideal for rest, sightseeing, and experiencing the riverside lifestyle of the local community.
In the morning, visitors can watch the sunrise over the Mekong River, which is another major highlight of Khong Chiam District. It is known as the first area in Thailand to receive the morning sunlight.
Paying respects to Buddha for good fortune and blessings
In addition to enjoying the natural scenery, visitors can also pay respects to sacred objects at Wat Khong Chiam to bring auspicious blessings into their lives, while experiencing the peaceful atmosphere of the temple located near the viewpoint.
