The Central Ubon mixed-use project encompasses ‘Central Ubon’ shopping center, ‘Escent Ubon’ Condominium, ‘Centara Ubon’ Hotel, and, most recently, the new ‘Ubon Hall’, an iconic landmark convention hall. This aligns with the 'MICE City' policy, unlocking the province's potential to support a wide range of events and cater to diverse needs and lifestyles.

Ms. Surang Jirattigalachote, Head of Hotel Development for Central Pattana plc, said: “The development of the Central Ubon mixed-use project reflects Central Pattana's commitment to enhancing Ubon Ratchathani province. Our project aims to unlock the province's full potential, boosting the economy and tourism in the southern part of the northeastern region. Central Pattana is the pioneer in adopting a retail-led strategy, where the shopping center is the core business that seamlessly integrates all elements in a mixed-use project. The key strategies include:

1. Developing a new district: We aim to develop cities and regions, transforming potential urban areas into economic, tourism, and residential hubs. Ubon Ratchathani, the largest city in southern Isan, is located in the Emerald Triangle, an area of cooperation between Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. It is home to the 6th Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge and Ubon Ratchathani International Airport, making it a key hub for tourists from around the world. Central Ubon's mixed-use project goes beyond a shopping center; it contributes to urbanization and fosters a new CBD, aligning with Thailand's development plan for Ubon Ratchathani. It also bolsters 'Ubon MICE City' with an iconic convention hall, furthering tourism in this secondary city. With Centara Ubon Hotel catering to diverse travel needs, we aim to make Ubon an attractive destination for extended stays.

2. Strong synergy & ecosystem: Our mixed-use project seamlessly links businesses, including a shopping center, condominium, hotel, and convention hall, with a key strategy that fully integrates all elements with the shopping center at its core, serving as the Center of Life. The ESCENT Ubon condominium has received positive feedback, and the recently opened Centara Ubon Hotel benefits from its proximity to the shopping center, providing great convenience. We prioritize connecting our customers' 'Lifestyle Journey' using the power of our extensive data resources within Central Group's The1.

3. Community at Heart: Ubon people’s pride: Central Ubon, as the 'Center of Life,' is a hub for various provincial activities and events, such as MICE, traditional candle processions, Ubon Auto Expo 2023, university gatherings, and government agency meetings. It's also a focal point for festivals like Chinese New Year, Songkran, UBON Pride, and Countdown events, all highly regarded regional attractions per TAT.

Furthermore, Central Ubon is a culinary destination in the southern Northeast, hosting events like the E-San Fruit Fest, IT TASTES GOOD, Thai street food fairs, and even special appearances by stars from Khun Toi's Kitchen TV program. In terms of environmental recognition, it received a gold-level honor plaque from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment in 2020 for exceptional wastewater management, presented by the Environmental Office of Region 1-16.
