Lots of jokes are made about Thai buffaloes but the prized ones can fetch huge sums.

 

This was in evidence yesterday when Noppon Athijakrawuth, 43, the owner of a buffalo farm in Nakhon Pathom in the central region paid a million baht to Nattachai Khumkhana, 44, who owns a farm in Chanthaburi on the eastern seaboard.

 

The money was placed on a golden "phan" rather in the manner of a dowry creating many laughs. 

 

Nattachai told Thai Rath that his fancy buffalo farm was the first of its kind in Chanthaburi and was built to raise awareness about Thai buffaloes and their care and breeding.

 

Many buffalo fanciers from all over the country were at the ceremony to hand over the 11 month old male beast.

Yes. 

 

I've paid for a few sick buffaloes over the years, apparently they're feeling much better these days. 

 

 

I got a prize buffalo but it didn't cost me anywhere near a million baht.
