Title: Surin Elephant Round-up by Anna Carranza
Location: Surin Thailand
Description: It’s not everyday you get to party with the elephants, but in mid November, a small town north of Bangkok celebrates one of Thailand’s best-known annual festivals.
Once an ancient courtesan display and now criticized for commercial exploitation.
For three days, hundreds of trained elephants parade in medieval warfare, play football and engage in a gargantuan game of tug of war. Diva tip, don’t wrestle the elephant yourself, unless you want to be dragged in front of forty thousand spectators.
