The Buffalo Racing Festival, also known as "Wing Kwai," is one of the most culturally significant events in Thailand, taking place every October in Chonburi. This annual festival honors the buffalo, a symbol of Thailand’s agricultural heritage and rural way of life. This year, the festival’s main event falls on October 16th, but the excitement begins earlier with lively parades, food stalls, musical performances, and contests. The races and festivities are held at the Chonburi District Office - in front of City Hall.
