Krabi Boat Races


Teams from different villages practiced paddling their long narrow boats in the streams, canals, and rivers nearby. Finally the big days arrived. Racing teams,other villagers and tourists traveled to Krabi City April 17-19th for the annual boat races. For those three days the river was filled with boats racing or people in boats watching the races. Teams from different villages and with different colored shirts raced in the morning. As with all good celebrations there was lots of excitement and plenty of food to be bought from local venders.
