Bridge over Mun River.  Ubon on Northern side (right) and Warin Chamrab on Southern (left).  The Mun River flows through Thailand and into the Mekong River at the Laotian border.  Large pedestrian crowd crossing the bridge.  The US Air Force had a large base in Ubon and the US Army had a radio station in Warin.

Movie theater at circle just before the bridge.
