Chon Buri Red
Cross Fair is held about mid-April. There is a Phra Phutthasihing
Procession. Also organized are cultural shows, exhibitons and
stalls offering various types of products.
Chon Buri Buffalo Race is
a long-established celebration of this most useful animal of
Thai farmers. A fun-filled event, it is held not only in Chon
Buri itself but also in Ban Bung and Nong Yai districts. The
beasts of burden are dressed outragerously or with admirable
creativity by owners depending on their imagination. Assembled
in the courtyard in front of the townhall, the buffaloes partake
in racing, or take part in physical fitness and “fashion”
contests. |
