Ubon's sausage factories

Isaan is famous for it's fermented pork sausages, sold almost everywhere and with a number of major smallgoods factories dotted around the region. Ubon Ratchathani has one of the biggest suppliers and will even supply by mail-order.

Quality pork meat is mixed with cooked rice and allowed to 'cure' briefly which causes fermentation of the rice and this imparts a unique flavour. Upon receiving fresh or frozen product one may leave sausage out for a few extra days to expand the flavour before cooking over a bbq or pan frying.

Adding to Ubon Ratchathani’s natural appeal, Phu Chong Nayoi and Pha Taem national parks are two of Issan’s most unspoiled and unvisited natural preserves. Additionally, the city’s annual candle festival is one not to miss in July, when it is held to mark the beginning of the rainy season retreat for Buddhists. (see picture below)
