A not to be missed event in Koh Samui, the Bophut Buffalo Fighting Festival gives visitors a chance to witness a unique cultural event involving duelling buffalos! Usually held on such special days as New Year’s Day, this popular event is noteworthy in the fact that the animals are not harmed; the buffaloes lock their horns with each other till one of them submits and walks or runs away. The remaining buffalo is crowned the winner to much fanfare! Ideal for those in search of a luxurious Samui hotel right on the beach, Anantara Bophut Koh Samui offers contemporary accommodation options that feature a range of modern comforts. This Samui resort also has its own spa where one can enjoy a variety of wellness treatments.
