While dangerous, the world wouldnt have these festivals and culture without a bit of risk in life. Awesome shots and video, definitely something I want to see in person.

[@graemeaylward8313]

Thanks Ryan and Family for another entertaining vlog. My daughter who is in her final year at Mahasarakam University Faculty of Dramatic Arts, specialising in Traditional Thai Dance, went with a troupe of dancers to a rocket festival recently somewhere close by, proabaly on the day before the fireworks. Your vlog with your friends vlog certainly captured the excitement of these events. Glad that you were all safe. God bless you all, always 😀❤🙏

[@kittiyalegalpromma2689]

This is very nice vdo🎉. From thai people living in Nederland.

[@martieflagg4671]

Very interesting! Thanks!

[@petercraig389]

Great video. So entertaining. Love Thailand.

[@PembrokeshireBoyinThailand]

Thanks Ryan, great video I attended a minor festival at Yasothon in March, no health and safety and a failure rate of about 60% , made some great video footage !!

[@mariettathornton5924]

Thanks for sharing this video Ryan😊

[@jeromejooste3493]

What a cool video. So nice seeing what other people do in their countries. Thanks for the tour, really enjoyed it.

[@lovinthailand921]

Great video! Only a few KZbinrs have shown this festival

[@oywatters9415]

Very interesting, first seen. The locals are so passionate about it, way of bringing everybody together and have fun. Annual festival to look forward to😊 🙏

[@bobcharles2683]

Thanks for sharing, too much H&S elsewhere, life is about taking risks and having fun along the way x

[@xavierkoolat6926]

How fun. How exciting to be so close to ground zero. Amazing that the monarchy allows such complete freedoms to enjoy these extreme fun times. Bravo.

[@boxcartwilly]

Great video. Life is a lot better without health and safety 👍😎😁

[@lifeinruralthailand]

That right 😁

[@rrpearsall]

Just another prison, although I do get annoyed when young men go out for their way to make their motorbikes motor bikes louder.. they show have to help with building sustainable local farms for those who don't like the noise in the city. There's just no reason except encourage speeding

[@wekker090]

Been to a rocket festival Twice and I must say I love it, the freedom the community joy and craftsmanship and yes I 2 keep a safe distance :-)

[@RONIN1111]

I loved this video! Living on the edge a bit.. nothing to crazy but a cool experience

[@Stetsonhatman]

Several years ago my wife and I attended the city's fireworks show (not in Thailand). We were on a hotel rooftop at a safe distance away to watch the show and it was entertaining. The next day we were near the water so I checked where the show was launched and I was shocked to see spent/burned cardboard mortar tubes - Yikes! You can find pics of steel mortar tubes which are severely dented from a mishap so you know that cardboard would not contain a spontaneous launch-detonation.

[@markbutterfield2189]

great content, thanks

[@pedrozatravel]

That is crazy, but thank you for sharing.

[@kenhoffmann3523]

This event is reminiscent of what America would call a Redneck rocket event. For those who are not familiar with the term "Redneck", it is a large group of people in the rural parts of the country. These are great people with a certain lack of sophistication of modern life but have a huge need to do questionable and dangerous things for entertainment. These are some of the most wonderful people to know. Ken

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Cheers Ken 🙏😁🇹🇭

[@VictorHenderson]

I was there last month in Kut Wa when to the big one blew up. I actually like the parade the previous day better. It when on for perhaps 2 hours! Great fun.

[@Firode9856]

Fantastic video. Reminds me of my first New Year Eve on Koh Samui in the late 80s. The locals planted sparklers in the sand and ran around chasing each other holding lit rockets and Roman candles. Mad fun😊

[@tom7779]

This is awesome!

[@Zeeian]

Very enjoyable video

[@ryanrasband4158]

Epic content

[@samuelmartin707]

Wow that was so cool Ryan thanks for taking me along. 2 thumbs up my friend!!!!

[@villagefarang]

A neighboring village celebrates the rocket festival each year so I can witness the flight of successful launches from the safety of my home a few kilometers away. I don't care to get any closer but it is interesting to see from a distance.

[@curtchesnutt4992]

Brother....I HAVE to go...what a hoot. Glad no one was hurt!

[@PierreLyons506]

I really enjoyed this vlog Ryan, I used to build model rockets when I was young, and I've always wanted to witness this festival in person some day. But in the meantime, thanks for taking us along! I love the festive atmosphere in rural Thailand. ❤

[@fulllifeadventure5195]

Gotta love the guy smoking at 7:36 beside his friends packing in the black powder. Gotta love Thailand. 😂

[@ThePilgrimsProcess]

Wow! We went to this festival in Yasothon, and I kept thinking the whole time of all the things that could go wrong! It was so much fun, but so little safety precautions and SO much Lao Khao 😬😅 Definitely a Thai festival through and through.

[@TheLungNuad]

So let's drunk sir with Lao Khao.made you crazy like the rockets're soaring to the air.🤣🤣🤣😂😂😅😅😅🥵🥵😁😆

[@falsedragon33]

Looks fun.

[@langiez9007]

3:17 thin one is bamboo worm and fat one is silkworm. It's grow in nature and eat only plant. It's very clean and yummy 🤤

[@hippychik]

always loved this.. especially the wheel one.. dangerous but so exciting!!.. 😅😘💜🦋🥀

[@craigstrike3023]

I went to this festival in Laos a few years ago. Crazy but loved it

[@wendy-0101]

❤️🙏🏼Ryan! Here in Sweden they have band fireworks! Only New Year! 💞💞💞💞

[@mikejordan8332]

In Buriram now. Wish could have seen. The site and sounds must have amazing being there. Great video.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

😮😮😮

[@glen7849]

All the expats that choose to live in the tourist area's miss out on so much of the country, there's always something fun going on in the villages and the community around you are so much better in my opinion living here

[@luceinbattaglia9425]

Infinite thanks for showing those unique traditional ceremonies Ryan. They are very very interesting.👏🔝🤣The guy with violet shirt looked like he was going to kill everybody!😂😂😂

[@trentmunn9486]

I have witnessed the festival as well. They simply drove a pickup to the launch tower and used it’s battery to ignite the rockets. I understand that a huge storm (typhoon?) just went through Isan.

[@bounmysingvongsa659]

Wooow cool👍👍👍👍

[@diamond-ir7th]

มาแล้วค้าบ🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭

[@Simon.0000]

For someone like me I think part of the fun is when they explode. as long as nobody gets hurt in any way

[@mikepaton3614]

I got married in a village called Baan Phukka just outside Sisaket, watched Bang Fai then and that was 17 years ago. Brilliant people, might not have much but will share what they have.

[@keithhowell4138]

Looks like a lot of fun.

[@lifeinruralthailand]

It was! 😁

[@trentpatton2616]

I've watched them once before on KZbin, it's insane 😂

[@lifeinruralthailand]

Crazy huh 😁🙏🇹🇭

[@nightclawer6679]

If you think this is dangerous, you didn't see how we drive yet😂

[@ประเสริฐแสงจันทร์-ฑ4ฅ]

ขอบคุณภาพสวยๆ ถ้าระเบิด boom มันอันตรายมากๆไม่ต่างจากลูกระเบิด เที่ยวให้สนุกครับ

[@richardvaiciulis]

OMG I can't wait to get to Thailand.

[@lifeinruralthailand]

🙌🙌🙌

[@peterolsen9131]

the fuel is a combination of charcoal and saltpeter [ no sulfur i believe] and wetted with water to slow the burn somewhat and produce bonus steam for propulsion , the rockets that rise fast and burn short are " core burners " that burn up the centre and out to the case , the slower burning but long burn ones are " end burners " with a restriction in the end of the tube and burn from the bottom to the top

[@iskandartaib]

Been trying to figure out how to organize a trip to watch the rockets for the last few years. Information is pretty hard to come by, it would probably mean renting a car after getting to Isan. It has always amused me that the rockets are blue because they use the common blue PVC water pipe you find in Thailand. The propellant is a mixture of charcoal and fertilizer (ammonium nitrate) - essentially a simplified black powder.

[@michaelj2528]

WOW , WOW . Interesting and entertaining but looks highly dangerous to me . They are very brave who make these fireworks and set them off .

[@johnhutchinson5398]

Kno3 and charcoal which are both pretty course powder. They make their own black powder from scratch. They make their own charcoal out of a certain tree and they grind up the potassium nitrate, which is kno3 , then they press the fuel in with a huge press that’s home made. The wheels are called, garondalias.

[@mattalford389]

That was exciting! I've seen a documentary on this before. I can't think of any other country where this would be allowed!! 😂

[@eastcroft1967]

They have one in Mexico and it’s far more dangerous.

[@gerardwise67]

Love Thailand 😂 07:36 guy smoking a cigarette while playing with black powder 😅

[@njord47]

wooow that was insane!

[@lifeinruralthailand]

😁🙏🇹🇭

[@Banndinkohchang]

That looks like fun 😂😮

[@pensionandapassport]

nice, i like it.

[@วีระพลนนทะคําจันทร์]

The fuel for rockets is saltpeter and some types of charcoal only. And the use of rockets has been found over 300 years ago. It's very amazing. In the past, only bamboo tubes were used to make rockets.

[@renegadecampervan5017]

We use to have cracker night in Australia. It was pure madness but so awesome.

[@opltv6800]

6:03 Its fuel is made from gunpowder.

[@chanonwisanmongkol2254]

When you give a fire to a kids the thing in their head is ROCKET!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kholmes4089]

Well that was different . Still think the highlight of the week was tizs thumbs down to school

[@donjordan8174]

Would be fun to watch from afar….

[@mercy2me1]

Just like the rocket club in high school but Thailand’s rocket club looks better.😬

[@mikepaton3614]

@ 7.34 minutes that must be the smoking zone away from the big bang end.😅

[@lifeinruralthailand]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Debora-m8r]

Next year try the “flaming cannon of garbage” with a steal drum full of paper and cardboard, pour on some kerosene and take turns throwing in lit matches. A site to behold watching flaming trash falling from the sky.

[@robertjean659]

Gotta love Thailand 🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@ลูกโม่-ต6ฤ]

welcome to thailand 🙏🙏

[@sirisakpansiri233]

It's ceremony of E-san aka Notheastern people in Thailand for Pray for rainfall according to their ancient folklore but the most famous place is in Yasothon province. The ceremony begins at the sixth month of Lunar calendar (not fix date like Gregorian calendar) In the past they used bamboo but it is taken place by PVC pipe today. Like other fireworks, they mixed saltpeter & black powder as main materials. The class of rocket is classified by the weight of rocket propellant in Kilogram. such as a Kilo, Ten Thousand (12 Kg.), Hundred Thousand (120 Kg.) and Million (1,200 Kg.). FYI.

[@807800]

This reminds of a video that shows some teenagers trying to light up a giant homemade firecracker, and it exploded on them. The result was horrifying.

[@tonymcdonald6482]

The "fuel" is gun powder. The objective is to get it to burn, not explode. The competition is to achieve the highest launch for each class (diameter) of rocket and is measured by timing from liftoff to hitting the ground. The largest is usually a 200mm diameter by 4 metre long. Gunpowder packed into the pipe with a hollow of about 30mm up the middle. A spark ignites the powder at the top of the rocket with the rocket restrained until it builds up thrust as the burn moves down the tube.

[@gertnood]

It is made from scratch using the same constituents as black powder but much more coarse and different ratios, and no sulfur in the big ones. You won't light that stuff with a spark, they fire DC through a pyrotechnic igniter held up in the head end. The competition is for flight duration, not altitude, although altitude is a significant factor, as is the flight path and how it decides to descend.

[@buffaloman5042]

Much better than our model rocket launches

[@Bilbolbobin9966]

เทศกาลนี้ จัดขึ้นตามประเพณีบูชา และส่งสัญญาณให้เทพคางคก สั่งให้ฝนตกในฤดูแล้ง ปัจจุบัน เป็นการแข่งขันว่าใครส่งจรวดบินขึ้นไปสูงที่สุดโดยการจับเวลาที่วิถีของจรวดบินตรงสูงขึ้นไปบนฟ้า บางครั้งชาวบ้านที่มาดูก็จะพนันกันว่าจรวดของใครบินขึ้นไปนานกว่า ทั้งนี้ จรวดมีหลายขนาดแบ่งการแข่งขั้นในแต่ละขนาดกันไป ส่วนวงกลมคล้ายดาวเทียม เรียกว่า ตะไล (Talai) จะแข่งเหมือนจรวด เหมือนกัน แบ่งไปแต่ละปรเภทและขนาด

[@bubbakemp5817]

If you did something like this in the USA, you would be in jail!!! I need to go to Thailand!🤣

[@MrAshaw83]

Don't know if you mention somewhere but when I've been to these there is always a massive amount of gambling and betting on how long the rockets will stay in the air, etc.

[@oceancrossing]

I am listening to the background music of your selection. I see a repeated theme: you like music cuban music a bit 😊

[@arthurdunga345]

i was lucky enought to go to a similar event guru they were all gamling on how long the rockets were in the air was a good day as you say the thais don't need an excuse to party

[@HairyPixels]

but is anyone surprised given Thailands safety record?

[@Thairieskaterat]

That's insane !

Where is the fire department, water brigade? 😀

[@mikaelandpond9093]

This goes under the category TIT ( This is Thailand ) 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@genokemp2433]

And here's me only worried about over hanging Cables whilst on a walkabout 555 .To think back in England we use to hold Air bombs as kids as they went off and throw Bangers at our mates whilst trying to get the timing right before they went off in your hand 🤦‍♂I lit a Chatherine wheel once when i was so young i can hardly remember ,it went out ,i cried so my late mum says .This takes it to a whole new level .But i agree what Seek says about Thai Festivals .The lady Dancing with a large Singha holding her child 🤣Who am i to judged what they have been doing for years ..Really 🙄I know nothing .Id go there just to see the locals having a great time ❤

[@roberttee9790]

Gotta admit those would be spectacular if at night!

[@gandumzero3580]

When Elon musk was kid he travel to Thailand and see this .

[@MrJohnsamui]

😂😂😂😂Years ago in nongbua one rocket went of course and landed at a petrol station in the next village....Remember safety comes 5th in Thailand 😅

[@gotthesinglelife]

It is pretty much sabi sabi or up to you, As you have pointed many of these would be banned, Went to whale rock could not imagine visiting there without some sort of fencing or completely fenced off. Which to me means you guage the risk you take then its on you.
