Thai tradition of water buffalo racing makes a post-pandemic comeback

Boys scurry, duck and weave through crowds sheltering from the suffocating heat before upending buckets of cooling water on beefy bovines waiting to compete at the annual traditional Thai buffalo races in Chonburi. The riotous and muddy annual tradition marks the beginning of the rice planting season, with the festival-like atmosphere in the eastern province taking place for the first time in two years after a hiatus during the Covid-19 pandemic.
