Title: Surin's elephant roundup
Post by: NongKi bloke on November 13, 2013, 07:56:31 PM

Does anybody have views about visiting the elephant roundup this Sunday, like what to try and see, vantage points and times etc.
Any help will be great.
Cheers all

You will be supporting a great deal of cruelty to elephants that have been brought here from places like Phuket and Chiang Mai. Tickets  ฿1000.-

I was about to say I saw in a thread about what they do to get the Elephants under control.  I would not wish that even on an Obama supporter.

I don't know about how they treat the elephant's and don' really care, but as for a day out just stay at home.
It's a complete waste of time. elephant027 elephant027 elephant027 elephant027
