Hi Bums

Feel like stuffing an eel down your trousers? If so then the Chumphonburi Eel festival is not to be missed!

18th 19th & 20th December. A good warm up for Rockies Big Bums do on the 21st.

Chumphonburi, about 50 kms outside Buriram, past the airport, through Satuk, 10 km and you are there! Another speciality is getting hold of an eel and putting it in a bamboo tube. Apparently this is a favorite with the farangs, myself I think i'll stick with putting it in my pant's!

Eel Festival

Chumphon Buri district locates on the area called Tungkularonghai (Crying Field), about 91 kilometers away from the city to the north. It is well known for its famous Hom Mali rice field of Surin. The fertile land and river is suitable to expand the amount of eels that the villagers can catch them to eat and to sell in the amount of no less than 5 tons a year.

After the harvest in November, the eels are big enough to be eaten and people can catch so many of them in this period of time. Therefore the annual eel festival, Jasmine Rice festival and the red-cross festival is organized in the 3rd week of December in front of the District Hall.
