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?

From Sunday at Khamong, Khlong Khut, Chanthaburi

A nice social day in the sun, enjoyed it. Next races are on the other side of the road, a little further along at Wat Kamong on 5 March.

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

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.

 

 

 

 

More events for 2025 - google translate!

Thanks for  letting us know about these events with time to plan attendance

so often we only hear about them after the event.

Thank you very much for this info it is most helpful. 

Fun on the water

 

Claimed to be the "World's fastest (only?) racing duck", this boat has been making appearances at racing events across Thailand

 

 

 

Races at Laem Sing beach, Chanthaburi last Sunday 28 December 2025.

This was circuit racing over a 1.5km triangular course, up to six boats per race. Cornering is an art especially in the wake of the leading boat, a few capsizes on the day.

As always, the best resource is a Facebook page 'djkai livestream' he notifies events in advance and last year had a calendar of upcoming events (haven't seen it yet for 2026).

From the DjKai Facebook page, events he's livestreaming

January 24-25 - Pathum Thani (see pic below)

March 7 - Wat Kalong, Samut Prakan

March 8 - Wat Buaphan, Bangkok

March 14-15 - Chachoengsao

Thanks again for posting in time to make plans to attend!
