Surin to be promoted as great “Elephant World”
SURIN, 23 November 2014 (NNT) – The Provincial Administration Organization (PAO) of Surin will next year open itself as the great “Elephant World” to promote tourism and curb the problem of stray elephants.
Chairman of Surin PAO Kittipat Rungtanakiat said the campaign will make the province a new attraction on the map of world tourists. It will allow visitors to closely experience friendship between elephants and humans through a wide range of activities. The campaign will also portray the age-old relationship between Thailand and Cambodia and how the elephants had played a key role in the establishment of the ancient Khmer Civilization.
Kittipat said the province is cooperating with all sectors to make sure the campaign which is nearing its completion, will be ready for launching next year.
