Buffalo Races

The city of Chonburi has an annual festival for racing buffaloes or Wing Kwai วิ่งควาย in Thai. The following is a compilation of all the races I tried to film on the 9th of October 2022.



It was a bit hot and crowed but after a few hours of racing the crowd decreased and I was able to set in the stands between races. The crowd decreasing always helped with not being hit in the head every few minutes by an umbrella.

    1. I have no idea. It also seems a bit strange to me but am sure they have a good reason. Maybe it is so they can get off easy without being stepped on.
