During the week long annual festival of OkaPhaSa (Illuminate Boat Festival) the Boat Races are held for 3 days on the Mekhong River. The first day they race boats from Laos. The second day starts the qualify events, and on the third day the Championship races. Boats come from all over the Northeast region of Thailand. Boat sizes are determined by the number of paddlers (30, 60, etc.)

  • @esandave This is during "Illuminated Boat Festival" or called "OakPhaSa" held annually normally in October the Full moon in October. It lasts for a week and the boat races cover 3 days. I went to the Rocket festival in Yosothan, May 2009. My hotel was 70K N.W. of Yosothan. I have a video of the bigger rockets. Never posted all the little ones or the big parade.

  • I REMEMBER THESE BOAT RACES WHEN I WAS TA NKP IN 1973

    I HAVE ALL TRYED TO GET BACK THERE TO WATCH IT AGAIN AND I AM SO CLOSE AS IN YASOTHON WHAT TIME OF YEAR ARE THEY
