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.
