Long Tail Boat Races at Wat Mai Songkrorat (วัดใหม่สงเคราะห์ราษฎร์)

I saw a YouTube video of someone riding on one of these Long Tail Racing Boats a number of years ago and thought that would be fun to watch. The problem in Thailand is finding information about events like this. Someone recently shared a Facebook group which posts information on upcoming events and where I received the following information.

Run the picture through Google Translate to try and understand the information. I had a concert planned for the day the event was in Chachoengsao but once the concert got cancelled it was off to Chachoengsao to watch the races.

It was a fun couple of days with smaller boats and engines on the first day and then bigger boats with larger engines the second.





I bumped into a couple of people with YouTube channels and may update this post with their videos when I find them.

I will also create another video when I return home with all my clips of the races. I will put it in this post but may be a number of weeks before I return home.
