Chumphon Considers Relocating 'Khun Khon Ching Thong' Boat Racing Venue to Royal Canal or Nong Yai Reservoir

In Chumphon Province, Southern Thailand, there is a move to consider new venues for the traditional boat racing competition 'Khun Khon Ching Thong'. Local media MGR Online (South) reports that this consideration is underway as part of infrastructure development to accommodate future large-scale events. Specifically, proposals have emerged to relocate the current venue to wider water bodies such as the 'Royal Canal' or the 'Nong Yai Reservoir'. These locations are believed to have the potential to accommodate more spectators and enhance the quality of the competition.
