Bun Bang Fai Rocket Festival in Yasothon Province
Posted on 06 May 2010
Born of the traditional beliefs of the I-san people, the “Bun Bang Fai” Rocket Festival, the most celebrated of I-san’s merit-making rituals, has been strictly observed by the residents of I-san for generations. It is essentially an annual ritual to ensure that the seasonal rains fall at the appropriate time in the planting cycle. In this process, Buddhist merit-making traditions are also observed and reinforced. The Bun Bang Fai Rocket Festival is scheduled to be held from 5-9 May 2010 at Phaya Thaen Park, Yasothon province, about 531 kilometers northeast of Bangkok.
