Yasothon Bun Bangfai Rocket Festival, Thaen Park, Mueang District, Yasothon, (Thailand)
May 5 - 9
|
|
While the rocket owners pack as much as 25 kg of black powder into plastic or bamboo pipes to give their homemade missiles take off, the blueprints for this exceptionally noisy festival are traced in the mystical skies ruled by gods. Approaching rain clouds signal the start of the rice planting season, but according to northeastern folklore the first raindrops fall only when the gods are in the mood for love.

May, on the full moon

This is the main Buddhist festival of the year and falls on the full moon in May. It's the day on which the Buddha was born, died and achieved Enlightenment, so the celebrations are massive. Families visit the local wat (temple) to pray, and services continue all night and well into the morning. In addition to the processions there are puppet shows and dancing with everyone dressed up in their very best clothes for the occasion.
