I usually skip the parades that most of the rocket festivals have. The parade is usually the day before the rockets but I attended a bit of the parade in Kut Wa. The following video is a small bit of the parade.
I have thought about coming to this festival for 3 years and am so glad I finally made it to Kut Wa, Kalasin Rocket Festival (กุดหว้า กาฬสินธุ์ บุญบั้งไฟ). The spinning rockets are amazing.
I uploaded 2 shorts to YouTube. One while at the festival and the 2nd the following day.
I also uploaded a video of a rocket exploding. I saw 2 rockets explode but only caught this one on video.
The rockets have parachute and when they reach the top it's supposed to deploy but often doesn't and drops like a stone. I was surprised by how far they kept the crowd back from the launch area until I saw a couple rockets drop and I was happy to stay back. This is Thailand so a lot of the area they kept out of during most of day was full at the end of the day but I didn't see anyone have a rocket land on them.
A fun day of watching rockets and I hope to return to this festival in the future.
