Photos of lake Mabprachan Pattaya Buffalo races

Buffalo racing at Lake Mabprachan, Pattaya, Thailand. These photos were taken many years ago. At the time, the buffalo races coincided with the Pattaya Dragon Boat races and were run on the banks of Pattaya’s Mabprachan lake.

Sorry, they’re not the best Thailand buffalo racing photos but never fear. Here are some much better, bigger Thailand buffalo racing photos from the Pattaya buffalo race of 2014.

For anyone interested in watching Buffalo races, there is an annual Buffalo racing event held every October or November (depending on the lunar calendar), in Chonburi Thailand, just a 40 – 50 minute drive from Pattaya.
