INTERNATIONAL SWAN BOAT RACES BANGKOK

This sporting and cultural event brings together several teams from Asia and the Pacific to compete on swan boats on the Chao Phraya River. It is a beautiful sight to see these narrow boats, with their finely sculpted swan head prow, gliding down the river with their many rowers. The race takes place every year, either in Bangkok or in Ayutthaya, during September (the date varies from one edition to another).
