Festivals
Thai World View has a surprisingly nice page detailing some of Isaan’s festivals — as introduced there: Some famous festivals are only organised in “ISAN” area.
Even Wikipedia touches on some of the festivals in its Isan entry:
The people of Isan celebrate many traditional festivals, such as the Bun Bungfai Rocket Festival. This fertility rite, originating in pre-Buddhist times, is celebrated in a number of locations both in Isan and in Laos, but most vigorously and most famously in Yasothon province. Other Isan festivals are the Candle Festival, which marks the start of vassa in July in Ubon and other locations; the Silk Festival in Khon Kaen, which promotes local handicrafts; the Elephant Round-up in Surin; and the bangfai phayanak or Naga fireballs of Nong Khai.
You can get a further good idea of what’s going on by scanning the website Isan Sawadee.com‘s page of Highlighted Festivals in NORTHEAST (ISAN). Additionally, if you click on the provinces listed in the column at the left on that page, some of them will have festivals specific to them mentioned — again, they will appear in the column at the left (as Festivals & Events).
Nearly as nice as the page above is a page of I-San Festivals at Benchama.ac.th.
I don’t know if it really qualifies as being called a festival, but the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is sponsoring an Isan Food & Wine Festival Mastercalss 2012 for June 8-10 at Khao Yai. Apparently it has been held before, so this is not the first one.
An overview of Isaan’s festivals is presented by Fodor’s in an undated article titled Thailand’s Partying Provinces.
Gecko Villa has a section on Thailand Holidays & Festivals. I’m not sure how accurate the calendar of specific dates are, however — not unless the dates are updated for each current year as it arrives.
Here’s what some websites have reported concerning past festivals, as well as some 2012 mentions (I am adding these in a March 18, 2012, post edit):
TV In this episode of RodMcNeil.TV, viewers are transported to Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand, or “Isan” as it is most known—in the Northeast of Thailand—during what is known as Buddhist lent and the scene of a world famous candle festival.
