About Chee River Beach
Chee River Beach is a seasonal sandy beach along the Chi River in Mueang Yasothon District, Yasothon Province, northeastern Thailand. Formed when dry-season water levels recede and expose wide sandbars, it serves as a popular local recreation area. Visitors gather for wading, picnicking and riverside relaxation amid a simple natural setting with food vendors and shaded seating. The beach is most accessible from November to April when the river is low and the sand is exposed.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a wide, flat sandy riverbank along the Chi River that appears during the dry season when water levels are low. The setting is open and natural with shallow water suitable for wading, sandy areas for sitting and picnicking, and simple vendor stalls selling local food and drinks. Shaded pavilions and mat seating are available along the bank. The atmosphere is casual and family-oriented, focused on relaxing by the river, paddling and enjoying riverside views rather than developed resort facilities.
