Unfortunately I haven´t been there but if I ever go to Thailand in november I won´t miss the Elefan Round-up Festival!

The popular Elefant Round-up Festival have been organised by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (T.A.T) since 1960 (!) and you can expect a historical and memorabel event with more than 100 elefants who take part in a display of grace, strenght, intellegent games of soccer, log-carrying and the best (?) a tug-of-war against human teams.

I dont know if there still are any tickets left but T.A.T are organising a railway tour covering the festival. A package that include a three days and two nights tour and all fees (for an example the entrance.fee to the elefant Round-up Show and Phanom Rung Historical park), transportation and meals.

At the same trip you will visit the Chan Sopha Silk-weaving Group wich is well-known for it´s fine gold brocade work. Maybe you will find and make a nice deal on "royal souvenirs" as they have made souvenirs for Royal guests.

Price for the package are only 3.970 Baht per person (less than 400 SEK for a three day experince of your lifetime!)

If you have been there already or are planning to go there, please show us some pictures and tell us more!
