Surin
Surin is a town in the Isan region of Thailand known for their annual Elephant Round-up. After 6 hours in a train from Bangkok, 2 hours in a bus (the train was stalled due to an accident and the bus drove us to another train station to catch an alternate train), and 3 more hours on a train again, we finally arrived in the north eastern area of Thailand, about an hour and a half from the Thai-Cambodian border. We came for the annual Elephant Round-Up as a stop on our transit to Siem Reap. There were not many "farangs" in town, so we joined the many Thai travelers at the ceremony.
