The long boat racing field in front of Wat Hua Dong is situated along the Nan River and is one of the most prominent and prestigious racing venues in Phichit Province. It annually hosts the traditional long boat races for the Royal Trophy of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother during the high-water season (typically in August), marking the start of the boat racing season in Phichit. This tradition reflects the deep-rooted connection between the local community and the Nan River, as well as the strong unity of the Hua Dong people.
