This study has combined historical and anthropological methodologies. Historical process analysis has incorporated and analyzed historical documents, both primary and secondary sources. Anthropological study has been employed in field work, through observation, survey and interview. The study classifies the migration wave of Chinese to Mueang Ubon, into two periods as related to their cultural heritage. The first period was between 1780 and 1868 A.D. and the second between 1868 and 1918 A.D., both of which underlined the importance of the Chinese diaspora in bringing their various ways of life to the town. The article also emphasizes how the legacy of Chinese diaspora and cultural heritage in Mueang Ubon manifest themselves in oral history, architecture, the graveyard and the charity team, each of which represents cultural heritage identities based upon their historical background
