Buffalo Racing

Chonburi

THAT’S right. Buffalo racing. Every year in Chonburi (100km east of Bangkok, near Pattaya) locals gather to witness these beasts charging down a 100 meter strip in front of the town’s municipal offices. While the buffalo are slower than horses, they run with surprising speed, and the rider of the fastest always goes home with pride and a prize. Adding to the fun are Thai folk concerts, a buffalo beauty pageant, and a beauty competition for women where the winner is declared ‘Miss Buffalo’ – quite an honour, apparently. Regular buses to Chonburi from Bangkok cost around B40 (two hour trip).
