KALASIN THAILAND

MY HOMETOWN KALASIN

Comparatively small among its sister provinces of the Northeast, Kalasin was once relegated to the status of an Amphoe before being restored its present administrative entity. Despite its smallness, Kalasin is a busy agricultural province with considerable attractions. Kalasin is 519 kilometers from Bangkok.

Kalasin and its provincial capital sit at the heart of the northeast. It is known for its traditional music and for being the site of the biggest concentration of dinosaur fossils ever discovered in Thailand.

Lam Pao Dam

built across the Lam Pao and Huay Yang rivers is thirty five kilometers from town center on the Kalasin Yang Talat highway. The reservoir can hold up to 1260 million c.m. of water and is as beautiful as any natural lake. Along the bank of the reservoir has been built an open zoo to serve as a major attraction of the Northeast.

Phrae Wa Silk

a most renowned hand-crafted product of Kalasin, is hand-woven in unique colourful designs by Phu Thai people of Ban Phon Village, Amphoe Kham Muang. Phu Thai People are descendants of Vietnamese immigrants from Muang Taeng. Phrae Wa silk is available at Kalasin Cultural Center and souvenir shops in the province.

Phra Buddha Saiyat Phu Khao

About six kilometers away from Sahatsakhan Market is the Reclining Buddha Image carved on the stone cliff. It is different from other reclining Buddha images as the figure reclines on the left-side instead of the normal right-side. Built around 1692, the image is highly venerated by local worshippers.

Culture & Tourism Promotion Center

located in the area of the Thirawat Hospital, exhibits ways of life of the local people as well as sells selected items of Kalasin local products such as Phrae Wa fabric, local musical instruments, etc.

Wat Klang in Amphoe Muang

houses a Buddha image in black and cast in bronze. Of fine craftsmanship, it is the main image of the province, and during any dry spell, it is borne aloft on a procession to plead for rain. At the base of the image are inscribed ancient Thai letters.In addition to the black Buddha image, Wat Klang also houses a large replica of the Holy Footprint made in sandstone. Moulded during the reign of the Lawa, the Footprint used to be located on the bank of the Lam Pao River but was removed to Wat Klang when the bank became eroded.

Mae Rim Yi Peng Festival

Yi Peng Festival

Yi Peng Festival





In the Northern Thai provinces that were once part of the ancient Lanna Thai kingdom, the Yi-peng Northern Lantern Festival is still being celebrated. Tubular lanterns, resembling hot air balloons, are lit and released into the night sky as an offering the Lord Buddha. As hundreds of illuminated lanterns drift into infinity, this conjures the same sense of wistful closure as the krathong float downstream.

An amazing procession of hanging lanterns, Krathong design contest, Miss Yi Peng beauty contest, light and sound presentation in Ping River, the ancient Thai Lanna Krathong activities, local cultural performances, and local handicrafts market in Lanna style.

North Eastern Thailand

North Eastern Thailand is better known as Isan - also written as Isaan, Isarn, Issan, or Esarn. There are 19 provinces in Isan, but only a few receive interest from tourists, which is a shame as this is a great part of Thailand to relax, wander in nature and get to know the friendly and welcoming people.

Isan covers an area of 160,000 km? and much of the land is given over the farms and paddy fields as agriculture is the main economic activity. The region of Isan has a strong, rich and individual culture. Examples of this can be found in the folk music, called mor lam, festivals, dress, temple architecture and general way of life.

The main regional dialect is Isan, which is actually much more similar to Lao than central Thai. Unfortunately, because the rainfall is often insufficient for crops to grow properly, Isan is the poorest region of Thailand, and many people leave the province to seek their fortunes in the bustling metropolis of Bangkok.

The average temperature range is from 30.2 ?C to 19.6 degrees C. The highest temperature recorded was a sweltering 43.9 degrees C, whilst the lowest was a freezing -1.4 degrees C. Unlike most of Thailand, rainfall is unpredictable, but it mainly occurs during the rainy season, which takes place from May to October.

Although completely unique, Isan food has adopted elements of both Thai and Lao cuisines. Sticky rice is served with every meal and the food is much spicier than that of most of Thailand.

Popular dishes include:

som tam - extremely spicy and sour papaya salad
larb - fiery meat salad liberally laced with chilies
gai yang - grilled chicken
moo ping - pork satay sticks

 

Isan people are famous for their ability to eat whatever happens to be around, and lizards, snakes, frogs and fried insects such as grasshoppers, crickets, silkworms and dung beetles often form a part of their diet.

Both men and women traditionally wear sarongs; women's sarong often have an embroidered border at the hem, whilst those of the men are chequered. Much of Thailand's silk is produced in Isan, and the night markets at many of the small towns and villages are good places to find a bargain.

There is no major airport in Isan, but the State Railway of Thailand has two lines and both connect the region to Bangkok. This is also a good place to enter Laos via the Thanon Mitraphap ("Friendship Highway"), which was built by the United States to supply its military bases in the 1960s and 1970s. The Friendship Bridge - Saphan Mitraphap - forms the border crossing over the Mekong River on the outskirts of Nong Khai to the Laos capital of Vientiane.
