The area of Baan Sing Tha is a historical neighborhood that plays a significant role in the founding of the present city. This place still features beautifully designed ancient shophouses that have been well preserved, making it an ideal destination for cultural tourism. In the past, Yasothon dates back to the Dvaravati period, with historical records noting that King Rachawong (Phra Wa), an ancient minister from Vientiane, along with Thao Na, Thao Khampong, Thao Tithporn, and Thao Mun, migrated to live with the ruler of Champasak. Upon arriving at Dong Phi Sing, they found the land suitable for settlement and established a city at Baan Sing Tha (Sing Tha City). It was later elevated to the status of Yasothon during the reign of King Buddha Loetla Nabhalai. Yasothon was incorporated into the group of eastern Lao cities, with Ubon Ratchathani as the main city, known as the Lao Khao Province. Later, after the governmental changes in 1913, Yasothon became a district of Ubon Ratchathani province, and in 1972, it was elevated to the 71st province of Thailand. "Baan Sing Tha" has been a trading hub since ancient times and flourished during the period of French influence in this region. Wealthy individuals of that time brought numerous craftsmen from Vietnam to construct homes, resulting in beautifully designed houses that feature a blend of Chinese and European architectural styles. Today, many such structures can still be seen along Srisunthorn, Nakorn Thum, Uthai Ramrit, and Wittayathamrong roads, with some remaining well-preserved, evoking the atmosphere of the past. However, many others have been left abandoned, adding to the charm of Baan Sing Tha. Visiting this city reveals traces of its prosperity at the Sing Tha community, where residents live simply and peacefully. The area is filled with old shophouses showcasing Sino-Portuguese architecture, similar to those in Phuket. The roads connecting the Sing Tha neighborhood serve as shortcuts linking the community, markets, schools, and temples, which are a focal point for Buddhists. Notably, there is also the City Pillar Shrine, crafted in eye-catching Chinese architecture. This neighborhood is renowned for producing "Som" fish and "Lod Chong Yasothon," famous local delicacies that should not be missed.
