Khong Chiam Two-Colored River
แม่น้ำสองสี
Where the Mun River joins the Mekong at Khong Chiam, brown-yellow and blue-green waters flow side by side without mixing, forming a clear dividing line.
Khong Chiam is where the Mun River meets the Mekong. Because of differing sediment loads, the two rivers run side by side in different shades for a stretch, a sight known as the Two-Coloured River. Riverside viewing pavilions and walkways line the town's waterfront, and you can take a longtail boat to the confluence for a closer look, with Laos on the opposite bank. The colour contrast fades toward the end of the dry season. Khong Chiam has many riverside guesthouses, making it a good base for trips to Pha Taem and Sam Phan Bok. It is about 85 km from Ubon Ratchathani.
