Traditional Long Boat Racing in Nonthanaburi Thailand - Sep 8-10 2023
One of the many Thai traditions that have survived from the Ayutthaya era, dating back about 600 years. The boat races started as a means to prepare and boost the morale of the kingdom’s soldiers, as a way to develop their courage and strength by rowing. In the days of the Ayutthaya kingdom every Thai man was considered vital to the country’s defense. At that stage of history aggressive neighbors could start a war at any time.
Boats used during the festival are carefully chosen and made from trees that reflect the beliefs of a particular area. The boats are also rowed by the best trained and most fit of rowing crews.
During the months where water levels are at their highest points many areas in Thailand will host long boat racing festivals. They can be found in all regions of Thailand from August through October.
In this video we get a chance to see the races in the Bangkok suburb of Nonthanaburi on the Chaophraya River. The local community use events like this to increase tourism as well as a way to experience Thai culture.
Enjoy the video!
