This is a traditonal Thai game where the contestants have to climb a greasy pole in order to reach a flag at the top. The team members then share the prize money. This game can be very funny to watch as they keep slipping down the pole.
I shot this video at Ancient City in Samut Prakan. This was a special event organized for Songkran.
