BAN TA KLANG ELEPHANT VILLAGE IN THA TUM DISTRICT
 
Ban Ta Klang Elephant Village is located at Ban Ta Klang, Tambon Kra Pho, Amphoe Tha Tum, about 58 kilometers from Surin. To get there, drive along the Highway 214 (Chom Phra-Tha Tum) for 36 kilometers, then turn to a branch road at Ban Nong Tat for another 22 kilometers. Former occupation of the Thai Suai, local villagers of Ban Ta Klang, was to round up, train, and raise elephants. But unlike those captured in the north of Thailand to be trained to work, the elephants here are trained to perform in the annual Surin Elephant Round-up.Ban Ta Klang is also situated among beautiful surroundings with white sandy beach where the Mun and Chi rivers meet. Here, visitors can enjoy a daily elephant training show during October-November.

An elephant's museum was constructed at Ban Ta Klang under TAT's sponsorship to gather all elephant-related information and implements used in the Round-up.
