An Art and Cultural Heritage

Surin Province, the land of elephants and profound cultural heritage, welcomes visitors from around the world to the Surin Elephant Festival, held annually in November at the Sri Narong Elephant Show Ground, Surin Province.
The Beginning of a Legend
The Surin Elephant Festival originated from the way of life of the Kui (Kuy) people, the indigenous inhabitants of Surin Province, who have shared a close and enduring relationship with elephants for generations—as working partners, companions in battle, and even members of the family. This deep bond is beautifully conveyed through the performances and activities showcased throughout the festival.
