mrcharliemofo Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 This seems to be for real ? Guaranteed to drag the tourists in and save the day.

lazarus Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) Birds are very popular in Thailand. When I lived down in South TGH just about every house had at least one or two in cages outside. There had singing competitions. There was a Pattaya guy on the Ssss forum named Bruce who kept and raced pigeons. Extremely nice guy. Knew a lot about snakes, too. RIP. I imagine there's a lot of betting on the races... Edited December 18, 2020 by lazarus

Seen them, not really impressed, would have expected a couple of classes for raptors as well (and longer distances for those).
