Elehant Roundup Surin 2010

[yumidesign]

We have a trip planned to include the wonderful elephant roundup in surin but there seems to be conflicting dates coming from tourism of thailand and surin web site, which only gives info on 2009 event. I realize that this is not strange. But can anyone help with a date confirmed by the organizers

You might get more help posting in the Issan forum.

What dates do they give for 2009?

Terry contact TAT in Surin, but the last event was only a few months ago and they may not have a date for this year yet.

Quite correct.

I finally got the info 'from the horses mouth' and beautiful she was too!

The Surin Tourist Board tell me that the elephant weekend will be held on the 13

Th & 14Th November, with the usually Elephant Buffet on Friday the 12Th.

Hope that helps the reader.
