Chonburi buffalo races Oct. 7-11

Chonburi’s annual buffalo races, and the festivities that go with them, will stampede into town Oct. 7-11.

CPRD

It’s buffalo racing time again in Chonburi as the 140th edition of the crowd-pleasing contest stampedes into town, with festivities running from Oct. 7-11 and the actual races scheduled for Oct 11 beginning at 8 a.m.

Chonburi Deputy Gov. Phakhathorn Thienchai 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.
Other traditional games such as cow racing, lasso techniques, a tug-of-war, an oiled post climbing contest (not for the buffalos) and a boxing contest where the boxers are blind-folded will add to the gaiety.

This year’s festival also features a local-products market, folk song contests, artists, singers, Thai country and pop music, a buffalo village, farmer’s life village and a local sports competition. There will also be a beauty contest and a folk music show performed by well-known artists.

For further information, contact Chonburi City Hall at 038-287-035 or the Chonburi Public Relations Office at 038-279-448.
