It is surrounded by Sri Sunthon, Nakhon Thum, Uthai Rammarit and Witthaya Thamrong Roads.
Later, in the reign of King Phutthaloetla Naphalai (Rama II), it was upgraded to be a town and royally named as "Mueang Yot Sun Thon" (เมืองยศสุนทร), meaning upholding its rank and was distorted to be "Yasothon" in the present day.
Today, there are might be quiet and lifeless as time passes by, but traces of the past glorious days combining the local charms still remains.
Architectural buildings like mud houses over 200 years old, Sino-Portuguese style buildings that were constructed before similar buildings in Phuket, wooden row shophouses, theater, Ho trai (scripture temple hall) as well as legends, folktales and beliefs about sacred things including traditional food and the way of the locals living are evidence of the mix of culture that remain to be seen at this place.
It will be converted into a pedestrian street to promote tourism and preserve the local identity.
