Wat Mahathat
The centrepiece of Wat Mahathat is Phra That Anon (aka Phra That Yasothon), a highly venerated Lao-style chedi. It’s said to date from AD 695 and to enshrine holy relics of Phra Anan (Ananda), the Buddha’s personal attendant monk. Much more interesting, however, is the gorgeous little hŏr đrai, dating to the 1830s and restored in 2008, which sits on stilts in a pond. If you ask a monk, he’ll let you look inside.

Rim Chi
Enjoy superb Isan and Thai food and bucolic Chi River views from either the tree-filled terrace or your own thatched-roof raft. The picture menu will get you through your order. It’s 900m west of Krung Thai Bank.

Wat Singh Ta
Wat Singh Ta is rather ordinary, but the block fronting its southeast corner is a treasure trove of classic Chinese shophouses. It’s 300m off the main road, west of Kasikornbank.

Night Barza
For some colourful eats, head to the dually misnamed Night Barza at the north end of downtown, which is only busy during lunch.

Night Market
East of Wat Mahathat, this is as good a place as any to sample Yasothon's famous dessert, kà·nom wăhn lôrt chôrng (rice noodles made with pandan served in coconut milk).

Rim Chi Riverside
Enjoy superb Isan and Thai food and bucolic Chi River views from either the tree-filled terrace or your own thatched-roof raft. This is an English-free zone, but you can't go wrong ordering sôm·đam or Ъlah chôrn lui sŏo·an (fried striped snake-head fish 'run through the garden'). It's 900m west of Krung Thai Bank.
