I understand each year in Chonburi they hold a "Buffalo Racing" Festival.
Has anyone been to this, from what I can see on the net it seems a good day out. Has anyone had experience of this, what type of thing happen, apart from the obvious,is it just a Thai thing or would a farang find it interesting and be welcome.This year it is on the 16th October and it could make an interesting diversion.
Thanks

Those sound like fine healthy animals..

I think most BM's have more experience opf the sick (or even imaginary) ones..

Maybe Diz can come back and form a market for us.

Come on guys, someone must have some info. After all, between us we must own at least half a dozen of the things that are racing.They cant all be sick given the amount that is spent on vet care by farangs.

Any info would be appreciated.

Just a thought, have you ever considered using a search engine when you want to find information on something ?

You are welcome.

I would ask this question in the pattaya forum as there is probably more chance bm's there may have been to this event.
