Surin Elephant Roundup dates this year from the 21st of November
The Pattaya Journal will bring you full coverage of this years annual Surin elephant round up. The event has been rescheduled for the time period 21-23 November. The change was made in order to accommodate for the special cremation ceremony for the late sister of his majesty.
The first event scheduled is the elephant breakfast to be held at 8:30 a.m. on Friday the 21st.
The following two days will feature some great shows involving upwards of 300 majestic elephants and their handlers. Armies of actors on foot and on elephant-back will be facing each other in mortal combat, tug-a-wars, football matches, dancing and demonstrating these lovely creatures abilities to massive crowds of on-lookers.
Admission to the viewing areas start at 30 baht but the best seats and the best views can be had from the stands, priced at 300 and 500 baht. Bring your cameras, your sunglasses, hats and umbrellas to stave off the bright sunshine.
Hope to See you there!
