King's Cup Elephant Polo named one of Thailand's 'Seven Amazing Wonders'

Monday, November 19, 2007

 

The Tourism Authority of Thailand has named the King's Cup Elephant Polo as

one of Thailand's " Seven Amazing Wonders " in a new promotional campaign

aimed at capturing the nation's unique attractions.

 

The King's Cup Elephant Polo Tournament is the sixth largest event on the

TAT calendar. Organised by Anantara Resorts, the tournament was first

introduced in 2001 as a charitable endeavour to assist country's National

Elephant Institute in Lampang, Northern Thailand. The event has raised over

US$175,000 to date, which has helped provide much needed medical care,

sustenance, employment, welfare and mahout training to Thailand's elephant

population.

 

The event also directs the international spotlight on Thailand's far North,

which is surrounded by astonishing landscapes and bathes in natural beauty.

The 2008 tournament is set to take place in the Golden Triangle from 31

March to 6 April.
