Boat Racing
Boat Racing is an age-old tradition of the province. It is held
on the Mekong River at the end of the Buddhist Lent every year in
November. Numerous small, medium and large boats compete over a
distance of 3 kilometres. All boats are made from a single tree
trunk. Boats from Laos also take part. There is also a prize for
the most beautiful boat.
