Surin in Isaan, Thailand, hosts a festival for more than 200 elephants every year. This is November 2011. It is a dramatisation of past battles,mostly against the Burmese. But because the commentary is in Thai, we are not sure what is happening!! Never mind!, it is a spectacular sight.

The festival includes other events over several days including an "Elephant Breakfast Buffet"!
