A unique event in the center of Bangkok, teams from around the world will paddle it out alongside last year’s winners, the Royal Thai Navy Seals. Teams will paddle specially designed boats decorated with artistic elephant themed sculptures with tails inspired by traditional Thai fish motifs. Each race takes place across 400m with 4 teams per heat, the first to cross the finish line wins and progresses closer to winning the King’s Cup. Spectators will delight in a weekend of thrilling competitive action on the river as well as an extensive variety of family friendly, high quality entertainment on land at the River Festival.
In addition to soaking up the racing action, guests are invited to enjoy an abundance of on-land entertainment including live music concerts, kid’s arts and crafts, fun fair rides and a wide selection of delicious food and beverages throughout the day and night, all set against the stunning backdrop of Thailand’s capital city.
 
The first ever King's Cup Elephant Boat Race & River Festival was a tremendous success, over 9000 attendees came together to raise significant funds for the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation (GTAEF). The GTAEF distributes these funds across a variety of projects dedicated to captive and wild elephant welfare, enabling them to continue their vital work throughout Thailand.
