Elephant Show in Surin , (58 images) We have been visiting the Surin Elephant Round Up. A great elephant show in Surin which takes place every November. The show starts early in the morning and be sure to book hotels early if you want to stay in the town. We had to find a hotel outside Surin, they were all booked when we tried to book 2 weeks before. The people and the 200 elephants are performing all kinds of shows and athletic exercises, including basketball for elephants, elephant t-shirt painting, rallies, ancient wars and fights and much more... Even 80 people could not overcome the power of one elephant... We recommend you to make a visit and try it out! Photo: Knut Øyvin Skaar - Bangkok
