点评:The Yasothon weekend rocket festival will be a new Isaan cultural experience if it’s your first time attending. It’s important to book your hotel 1 or 2 months earlier since there are only 5 hotels ( 2-3 stars) in the city. On Friday night about 2 kilometers of Main Street ( hwy 23) is turned into a “Walking Street” with over 15 stages of a variety of bands ( rap, traditional Isaan music, temporary Thai Rock, and Western) A couple Isaan folk dance presentations also and a stage with DJ’s blasting away dance music. It sounds like fun but unfortunately the idiotic planners have these stages too close to one another— each with their mega speakers blaring away louder than a jet fighter taking off; thus, the various stage music is inaudible. Plenty of food and beverage stalls . There is also a beauty pageant held that night. Saturday morning is the colorful parade with floats, various groups dressed in traditional costumes, and music. It is definitely a photographer’s delight. All groups perform at the public seating area ( portable benches) but the seating is limited. Hot and crowded so bring plenty of water.
翻译:如果您是第一次参加益梭通周末火箭节,那将是一次全新的伊桑文化体验。提前 1 或 2 个月预订酒店很重要,因为该市只有 5 家酒店(2-3 星级)。周五晚上,大约 2 公里的主街(23 号高速公路)变成了一条“步行街”,有超过 15 个不同乐队的舞台(说唱、传统伊桑音乐、临时泰国摇滚和西方) 一对伊桑民间舞蹈表演还有一个舞台,DJ 播放着劲爆的舞曲。这听起来很有趣,但不幸的是,愚蠢的计划者将这些阶段彼此靠得太近了——每个阶段都有他们的巨型扬声器,比喷气式战斗机起飞时的声音还大;因此,各种舞台音乐是听不见的。很多食品和饮料摊位。当晚还有一场选美比赛。星期六早上是五颜六色的游行,有花车、身着传统服装的各种团体和音乐。这绝对是摄影师的乐趣。所有团体都在公共座位区(便携式长椅)表演,但座位有限。又热又拥挤,所以带上大量的水。
