 Yasothon
is famous for its boisterous Rocket Festival every May,
when giant home-made missiles are launched into the
air in a symbolic rainmaking gesture.
In the town at Wat Mahathat, Phra That Yasothon is
a much-visited Lao-style chedi, said to be over 1,200
years old. It enshrines holy relics of Phra Ananda,
one of Lord Buddha's chief disciples. That Kong Khao
Noi is an ancient Khmer chedi with a much revered brick
and stucco Buddha that is ritually bathed every April.
The handicraft village of Ban Si Than is famed for the
triangular pillows used in most Thai households.
