The Emergence of Sport Tourism Event in
Buriram
Before the rise of the local football club
notoriety which now is perceived as its new main
attraction, Buriram was perceived as one of the
historical provinces as it has ruin remains from
Khmer empire from a thousand years ago like
Phanom Rung historical park and other
attractions like cultural centres, temples and
reservoirs (Official Website of Buriram, 2006).
Furthermore, Buriram also has significant
traditional festivals namely Phanom Rung Fair,
long boat racing, making merit ceremonies, and
Northeast (as known as Isan) kites festivals
(Official Website of Buriram, 2006).
