The first day of the celebration begins with merry-making, including traditional dances and processions of rocket floats. On the second day is the actual shooting of the rockets. Early in the morning the rockets are paraded around the town. Each procession consists of clowns, dancers and musicians playing drums, gongs, cymbals and reed pipes.
The procession then moves to Phaya Thaen field, where hundreds of rockets will be launched. The first rocket is fired to predict the amount of rainfall for that growing season. That is, if it goes high up in the sky, there will be plenty of rain and a good crop.
The rest are set off to ask for rain. The owner of a rocket which does not rise after firing will be thrown into the water as punishment for making a dud rocket. Boon Bang Fai is the beautiful tradition. It is never forgotten from people there. There is this festival in every year to show their folkway. We should protect and promote this festival to our next generation and others how beautiful Boon Bang Fai is.
