Welcome to Bun Bang Fai, the annual rocket festivals in Thailand to 'welcome the annual rain', drink lots of alcohol and fire 9 metre rockets into the sky.
Rockets made from cheap PVC plumbing pipe roaring into the skies, parades featuring cross dressers and phallic symbols, mud fests, all fuelled by rice wine and other local brews, many as potent as the whatever-it-is used to launch the rockets. Yes it’s time for the annual Rocket Festival or Bun Bang Fai, held in May, mostly in the north east.
It’s time for the north east to welcome in the wet season and pay homage to Phaya Taen, the god of rain, by penetrating the skies over Isaan with home made rockets that are the pride of the villages and communities that make them.

Passfire visits a rocket factory in the Thai jungle making 100KG (220LB) rockets for Thailand's Yasothon Bun Bang Fai Rocket Festival. These huge rockets use bamboo sticks to balance them. Thai rockets are some of the largest fireworks and pyrotechnic devices on the planet
