Thai farmers raced water buffaloes to herald the start of the rice cultivation season.<br /><br />Over 50 buffaloes competed along a 200-meter muddy track in the Chonburi province, located about 80km southeast of Bangkok. The race serves as a reminder of the buffaloes historical role in agriculture, dating back to the 1800s.<br /><br />#RiceSeason #ThaiTraditions #Farmers #Thailand #WaterBuffalo #Wildlife #Agriculture #Ploughing
