Buffalos to race through Chonburi Oct. 26-Nov. 1

CHONBURI:--It’s buffalo racing time again in Chonburi as the 141st edition of the crowd-pleasing contest stampedes into town, with festivities running from Oct. 26-Nov. 1. The actual races are scheduled for Oct 29 beginning at 8 a.m.

Chonburi Deputy Gov. Pongsak Preechawit said the buffalo race festival will give a much-needed boost to the local economy by attracting Thai and foreign tourists to the event.

The races divide the buffalos into three categories, small, medium and large. Additional fun activities will include a Miss Country contest and a buffalo decoration contest where the animals are judged on beauty and their costumes on creativity.

Wow! 141 years. Guess that rates right up there as a "Tradition" eh?

I believe I will put that on my list of things to do. Sounds fun.
