Dear Son
in NYC, USA
On Sunday, January 17, 2010, in front of Pechkasem Hotel, Muang Surin, Surin Province, while I was about to have my quick dinner with Aj Thaworn Porsom, a doctoral student at Surindra Rajabhat Universiry (SRRU), we met one of our frequent visitors who would like to have a dinner. Unfortunately, he/she was too big to get into the restaurant. He/she may have a home at the Elephant Village, about one hour drive from our hotel in Muang Surin.

When you come to Thailand, we may go to visit our big friends at their home, the Elephant Village at Ban Ta Klang, Surin Province.
This elephant village at Ban Ta Klang on Highway No. 214 (Chom Phra-Ta Tum) can be reached by going to Km. 36 and left for 22 kilometers. The locals here are called the Suai people. They are skilled in capturing, training and raising elephants. An elephant museum here displays a complete elephant skeleton, its organs, tools used to capture elephants, elephant-raising techniques, and the history and development of Surin elephants.
Have a good time in New York, while I and mom will have a good morning in Thailand.
