Introducing Yasothon

Yasothon Province has little of interest to the average traveller, though people looking to nose a little deeper into Isan culture will want to peek at Phra That Kong Khao Noi and purchase some pillows in Ban Si Tham. The provincial town of Yasothon saves all of its fireworks for the annual Rocket Festival, which completes a trifecta of Isan icons. The city has nothing to offer outside the official whizz-bang period of late May and neither looks nor acts like a capital city. In fact, it barely feels like a city at all.
