The city of democracy, rockets, watermelon, Kwan pillows, Khit cloth, and jasmine rice.
Yasothon is the smallest province in the lower northeast of Thailand’s Isan region. It is famed for its Rocket Festival, which is celebrated each may at the commencement of the Rainy Season. The home-made rockets, some capable of firing hundreds of feet into the sky pay homage to the god of rains. The celebration lasts for days with elaborately decorated floats paraded through the town and live music performed for those interested in dancing or partying late into the night.
