The best chicken festival in the universe

It’s April and it’s raining cats and dogs in the southern Thai provinces.
But the Betong folks want to have fun. They have a tsunami-size brainwave. They will RAWK the rafters with the first-ever annual Betong Chicken Festival.
Cluck yeah! Komunitikini was invited!
Don’t mistake this town for its Sarawak namesake. In fact, this Betong (pronounced “beh dong”) finds its place at the southern Thai province of Yala, bordering Pengkalan Hulu of northern Perak.
With a population of over 20,000, mainly rubber tappers and petty traders, Betong was once a bastion of the Communist Party of Malaya and is now home to the Peace Village, settled by ex-CPM members after the truce with the Malaysian government in 1989.
