Chanthaburi: Speedboat racing 29 January and 5 March 2023

[gomangosteen]

This style:

 

Racing on Sunday 29 January and Sunday 5 March 2023 in Chanthaburi province.

In previous years there's been up to six boats per race, on a long oval course as opposed to what I've also seen which is straight-out two boat drag racing.

I se DJKai who makes these videos is booked for the 29 January event.

Searched Ko Mong on maps and nothing. I know klong Khud but cant think of a place in the area they would do this. Can you post a map location?

Are these races happening again in 2025 and does anyone know the specific date and location. 

[gomangosteen]

For Chanthaburi - races mostly between January-March

 

For future races, a good resource is Facebook "djkai livestream" he covers most of the bigger events, plus livestreams them

 

Nationally - there's racing this weekend small boats on the 19th and big boats on the 20th of July 2025 at Klong Ta Kham, Samut Sakhon.
