Kaeng Saphue
แก่งสะพือ
A park with rocky rapids in the Mun River, right by the town of Phibun Mangsahan. It's a favorite spot for locals to swim and picnic, and it's especially lively during the Songkran water festival.
Kaeng Saphue is located in Phibun Mangsahan District, about 45 kilometers east of Ubon Ratchathani. Here the Mun River spreads over broad stretches of rock, forming shallow rapids. Along the riverbank you'll find a park, bamboo-raft restaurants, and street food stalls. In the dry season you can wade and play among the rocks. Every April, during Songkran, this is one of the liveliest water-fight venues in the area. Admission is free. It makes a good stop on the way to Khong Chiam, where you can try local Isan snacks.
