The old quarter is around Khum Ban Singha Tha within the municipal area. It is named in the history of the city’s founding and still has well-preserved old shophouses with distinctive shapes and decorative patterns.
Located inside Wat Ho Khong in Fa Yat Subdistrict, the museum displays examples of khao tok garlands and explains the rice-popped garland tradition. The page describes how residents gently roast glutinous rice in its husk until it pops, then string and decorate the white grains into garlands that can extend for many metres. It names two forms: rain garlands and “kho” garlands.
The Buddha footprint is at Wat Phra Phutthabat Yasothon in Ban Nong Yang, Hua Mueang Subdistrict, about 6 kilometres from the district office via Highway 2083. It is enshrined on a white sand mound rising from the low-lying Chi River basin.
Phra That Ku Chan is in Ban Ngio, Ku Chan Subdistrict, about 12 km from the district center. This old chedi resembles Phra That Phanom. Local legend says it dates back to the construction of Phra That Phanom in Nakhon Phanom.
A small, winding waterway runs around Phaya Thaen Park. Its grounds include flower and ornamental gardens, a music pavilion for outdoor performances, a playground, and a health park.
Wat Si Thammaram is in Yasothon Municipality and was first built around B.E. 2395 during Rama IV’s reign. Local history says the temple was created in memory of the families of Chao Uparat But and Chao Kham Muan, relatives of Phra Sunthon Ratchawongsa (Chao Fai But). The account says they were executed at a place called the “fire prison.” The ordination hall was built over the execution site, and the temple has since been renamed several times.
On Wari Ratchadet Road in Nai Mueang, Wat Maha That has been closely associated with Yasothon since the city was founded. Local tradition says that around 1770–1776, Chao Phraya Worarat Phakdi (Chao Phraya Wo), Thao Kham Sing and Thao Kham Pha founded the city and built Wat Thung Sawang. In 1778, Chao Phraya Wichai Ratchasuriyawong Khatthiyaratch (Thao Na) restored its great stupa, now Phra That Anon, and renamed the temple Wat Maha That.
The cave is named Phu Tham Phra because it contains many Buddha images. The source describes it as about 3 wa wide and 8 wa long (approximately 6 by 16 metres), on a southern mountain ledge. Its entrance follows a passage through a cleft in the rock.
