Helpful Tips
Grab NaviGo before you land. The app nails reliable rides and motorbike taxis across Ubon Ratchathani. Load it at the airport WiFi. Done.
Hop the yellow songthaew loop. It circles the city center nonstop. Board on Thanon Chayangkun beside Central Plaza. Pay the driver. Simple.
At Ubon Ratchathani Bus Terminal 1, motorbike taxis line up by the main entrance. They charge half what tuk-tuks ask for city runs. Bargain once. Save baht.
Need Chong Mek? Head to counter 1 in the main bus terminal. Morning minivans run on time. Afternoon slots vanish. Book early. Cross easy.
Common Scams to Avoid
Taxi drivers at Ubon Ratchathani Airport commonly refuse to use the meter for rides into the city center, quoting inflated flat rates that can be double the normal fare. Always insist on meter use. Walk to the main road. Hail a passing taxi there. Drivers on the street are more willing to use the meter.
Some airport car rental booths have been reported to add unexpected insurance charges or claim pre-existing damage wasn't documented, leading to disputes over deposits. Take detailed photos of the vehicle from all angles before leaving the lot. Verify all charges in writing. Do this before signing any agreement.
Motorbike taxi drivers waiting outside the terminal sometimes claim the public songthaew (shared pickup truck) has stopped running for the day, pushing tourists toward their more expensive service. The songthaew continues operating until the last flight arrives. It departs from the clearly marked stop near the terminal exit.
