rocket festivals 2019

[PJPom]

Following suggestion from senior member and asking if anyone can give Rocket festival dates for this year?.

 

 

[eyecatcher]

The Yasothon festival this year is May 3rd to 7th.

I tend to go to the biggest and best though at Phanom Phrai every other year which I think is surprisigly in July. 

I would maybe see three or four farangs!

[Trujillo]

Can anyone tell me for sure if the last day is the rocket launching day this year? Since it falls on a Tuesday (if the 3rd to 7th is correct), which is a work day, I wonder.

No, but I might be worth mentioning that it overlaps with the coronation days.

Monday 6th is a public holiday.

The day is irrevellent, its a holiday, having said that the Phanom Phrai one is always geared to a holiday weekend, 

Its a bit misleading saying 5days, normally a parade and dancing day  followed by the rocket day main event

[eyecatcher]

Also note, that there are several rocket festivals held in different towns on different days over the months of may and june.

The pros will make a series of rockets and turn up at different events.

For exact dates, you need to decide where you are going

I got this from the TTA but best to follow up with local info. This document misses out sisaket, dansat, Ban sat keow and At Samat. BSK is usually the weekend after Panom Phrai and At Samat is mid week after after Phanon Phra just before Ban Sat Keow. Basically you can do 3 Roi rocket festival over a period of ten days. 

Kranuan  has a parade but only very small rockets and not worth it for the rockets

Yasothon and Phanom Phra complete for the biggest display of rockets, Phanom Phrai wins, and for the biggest street party its a close call.  PP has a brilliant rocket blessing ceremoney in the PP temple

Where is the best place to stay for Kutwa spinning rocket festival? Kalasin has plenty of hotels but, if I'm correct, is about 60km. away. A bit far to commute over the several days of the festival.
