SURIN – Amazing Surin Elephant shows will be held in the northeastern province next month.
Surin provincial Governor Atthaporn Singhawichai announced today that the Amazing Surin Elephant shows, designed as a tourism promotion campaign, will showcase the province’s elephant-raising and indigenous identity as well as the way of life of the mahouts; a lifestyle which has been passed down in families over the centuries.
This year’s event will feature a welcome for 300 elephants returning to Surin province, large tables of food for elephants, an occasion which may be viewed as the world’s biggest ”elephant buffet”, mock elephant hunting and other arena performances.
The event is scheduled from 13th November until 24th November 2015 in Surin Province. The Amazing Surin Elephant shows are an annual event held in association with the Thara Red Cross Fair.
