Hat Ku Duea is an important natural attraction in Ubon Ratchathani, located along the Mun River in Cha Ra Mae Subdistrict, just 6 km from the city center. Its convenient location makes it a popular spot for both locals and tourists, especially during the hot season from February to May, when water levels drop and reveal the wide sandy beaches.

The main attraction is the floating restaurants, where visitors can enjoy traditional Isan dishes such as som tam (papaya salad), grilled chicken, grilled fish, and salted river fish, along with local beverages, herbal drinks, and fresh tropical fruits.

Popular activities include swimming in designated safe zones, renting floatation equipment, walking along the beach, and taking photos of the scenic riverside.

In the evening, Hat Ku Duea becomes a beautiful sunset viewpoint, where the sun reflects over the Mun River, offering a picturesque moment for visitors.

The area is also an example of community-based eco-tourism. Local residents maintain cleanliness, organize shops and floating restaurants, and provide a safe, enjoyable experience while generating income for the community.

Cultural and local activities are often held nearby, including Songkran Festival celebrations, traditional music performances, and local markets selling handmade silk, cotton textiles, and processed food products.

With its combination of natural beauty, food, local culture, and well-managed facilities, Hat Ku Duea is a must-visit destination in Ubon Ratchathani for relaxation, culinary experiences, and riverside leisure.
