SURIN OVERVIEW
Surin is sleepy little town in Thailand, capital of Surin province. The Surin Town is inhabited by very friendly people and is the site of the annual Surin Elephant Round-up. The town is also an access point for the Khmer temples of Phanom Rung historical park, Prasat Preah Vihear and potentially Angkor Wat. Surin town is located approximately 450 kilometres North East of Bangkok, about half way between Nakorn Ratchasima (Khorat) and Ubon Ratchathani (Lat 14.90, Long 103.50). The population of the town is in the region of 150,000, the majority being of Khmer and Laos decent. Thai is the main language of the area but many, particularly older residents, speak Khmer, Lao, and/or Suway. Surin has a substantial population of expatriate westerners married to local women. At this time, there is an estimated population of foreigners (known as farangs in Thai)of 6,000 living in Surin or surrounding villages. These men are married to local Thai ladies they have met in other parts of Thailand while on vacation here. There are three "farang" restaurants located in Surin, where one could meet local expats having a beer and a chat. They are Brad's Cafe Americain and the Farang Connection located in the bus terminal and Norbie's German Beer Bar located in the heart of the nightlife area known as Soi Cola.
