Thousands of Cambodians gather in a village, northeast of the capital in Cambodia for annual water buffalo races to end the country’s festival for the dead. The ceremony, which started more than 70 years ago, is held to honour the Neakta Preah Srok pagoda spirit. It also marks the end of the Festival of Pchum Ben, which lasts from September 13 to September 27. After the ceremony, the buffaloes are sold to the highest bidder. (All Photos by Reuters)

So, that's who Hung Soy look like. I bet the water buffalo don't even dare take a second look at him.
Khmer people, please treat and be nice to animals. The distant race of 18 Miles is too much for Water Buffaloes.
You should feed and provide the water to Water Buffaloes because they are very good animals for the farmers. Without water buffaloes, you will not be able to live without them.
Thank you for listening.
I don't think they race for 18 miles at all. The longest distance is probably for 1km. People don't come to wait that long, and plus there are other activities such as Bokator. 18 miles might be the distance people travel from Phnom Penh to this place.
