The Best Soy Milk in Ubon Ratchathani Province

The Best Soy Milk in Ubon Ratchathani Province by mr.hotsia

As a traveler and local food lover, I, mr.hotsia, find that searching for delicious soy milk in each province is an activity that deeply connects me to local lifestyles. On this trip to Ubon Ratchathani, I experienced a soy milk unlike any other in Thailand.

Speaking of soy milk in Northern Thailand, I have tried soy milk from the Mien and Yao ethnic groups in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. There, the soy milk is thick, fragrant, and creamy with unique recipes passed down from ancestors. But in Ubon, I discovered a unique recipe specific to the locals, which excited me greatly to share with everyone.

The soy milk I mention was tasted at the Big Market in downtown Ubon Ratchathani, a lively market full of local foods. The soy milk shop I visited has been operating for over 50 years. The vendor I met appeared to be around 70 years old, a generation who learned the recipe from their ancestors and has preserved the original taste excellently.

What makes this soy milk stand out uniquely is the addition oftofu skinandpomelo peelinto the soy milk. The tofu skin is soft and smooth, while the pomelo peel adds a fresh fragrance completely different from any soy milk I have tasted before. I tried it without adding sugar to fully experience the pure tofu flavor, which was truly rich and aromatic.

The atmosphere at the Big Market also made this soy milk taste even better, as I sat among people passing by. The fragrant soy milk aroma mixed with lively vendor calls created a charm of Ubon city that should not be missed.

Routes and Lifestyles in Ubon Ratchathani

For those planning to visit Ubon Ratchathani, traveling is now much more convenient than before. As I have written in the articleUbon-Phuket Flights: Traveling from Isan to the South Without BangkokAirAsia now offers direct flights from Ubon to Phuket, making trips to Southern Thailand no longer require passing through Bangkok.

Ubon city itself is the center of Southern Isan and also the gateway to neighboring countries like Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. This makes the Big Market, where I enjoyed soy milk, a place where diverse ethnic groups meet, as well as a cultural and local food hub.

For those who enjoy walking or exercising like locals, I recommend visitingSri Muang Field, Ubon Ratchathani ProvinceThis place is not just an ordinary park but a space where Ubon people genuinely run, play sports, and relax. I often stroll here to soak in the city’s atmosphere before enjoying soy milk to my heart’s content.

Big Market Soy Milk Shop: Tradition Preserving Authentic Flavor

The soy milk shop I visited is located in the heart of the Big Market. The vendor told me they have sold soy milk continuously since childhood. The recipe is an old one passed down unchanged. The careful selection of soybeans and long boiling time make the soy milk thick, fragrant, and well-balanced in flavor.

What impressed me most was the addition of soft, smooth tofu skin and truly special pomelo peel, which cuts the greasiness and adds a refreshing aroma perfectly. Trying it without sugar lets you taste the genuine flavor of the soy milk and its accompaniments. I definitely recommend everyone try it this way.
