Video: "Oohoo! Farangs show the Thais how to plow with a buffalo!"

Thai TV featured a segment that showed seven westerners in a buffalo plowing contest.

 

Up and down they went doing it in a traditional way - these guys needed no tractor!

 

It was a competition in the village of Ban Pan Rua in Surin in Thailand's north east.

 

Competitors came from Iceland, England, Scotland, Austria, Canada, Holland and Switzerland. 

 

Emerging victorious was Kerry from Iceland (the story in Thai said Iceland anyway, though we suspect he might have been Irish with a name like that...). Second was the guy from Switzerland. 

 

The presenters enjoyed themselves conjecturing that the village must have a lot of pretty women for so many farang son-in-laws to be present.

 

Though later the male presenter suggested, hopefully tongue in cheek, that one of the buffaloes in a "Pretty Khwai" contest was one of their wives. 

 

TNA said that excitement was at fever pitch for the contest.

 

Later on there was a competition for all-comers.

Isn't it against the law for non Thais to "Farm", even the competition is breaking the "Law"  ?

There goes another embosomed tradition. Women's liberation comes with a price. Now they need falangs doing the job...

Probably.  Judging by the style of clothing it was taken during WW1 when most of the farm horses were taken to serve the various armies.

Why do they always confuse Austria with Australia?

A running gag :biggrin:

 

Both names are close to impossible for many Thais (Isaan people in particular) to pronounce/distinguish.

Austria: òt-dtria

Australia: òt-dtray-lia

 

And now try to substitute the "r" with an "l" as most Isaan people will do :biggrin:

A  bit like the joke 'what's the difference between a Canadian and an American?'

A: people like Canadians.

I think is good that these farangs have acquired the skill of traditional ploughing to assist the local communities if the need arises.
