Elephants get limelight
The three-day two-night tour will be organised during November 16-18 together with the State Railways of Thailand, Association of Thai Tour Operators, Association of Domestic Tour Operators, Thai Ecotourism and Adventure Travel Association, Thai Tourism Promotion Association, and Association of Thai Travel Agents.
Said TAT Governor Phornsiri Manoharn, “This tour is designed to promote domestic tourism and better distribute income to local regions, particularly in the northeast of Thailand. It also promotes travelling by train which helps to offset its environmental impact,” she said.
The Elephant Round-up, one of Thailand’s most historic and memorable events, is considered one of the most popular festivals of the northeastern region. It recognises the important role that elephants have played in Thai history and culture.
More than 100 elephants take part in a display of grace, strength, and intelligence in games of soccer, log-carrying, and a tug-of-war against human teams.
