Century-old buffalo race in Cambodia attracts crowds of spectators


KANDAL: Avid spectator Lav Sopha on Wednesday (Oct 2) drove his motorcycle about 30km from Prey Veng province to watch a century-old tradition of buffalo races here in southeast Cambodia's Kandal province.

Although he had watched it a few times, Sopha has never lost his excitement in viewing the annual buffalo race, which was held on a 500-metre track leading to the Vihear Sour Pagoda in Ksach Kandal district.
