The following information is from online advertisement - Any visit to Thailand will be incomplete without a visit to Ban Ta Klang Elephant village in the province of Surin. The village comprises of people from the ancient tribe of Kui, and they have been rearing these gentle giants for hundreds of years.
There are about 200 elephants live in the village, with about 8,000 baht per month of subsidy for mahood or owner of an elephant in the village from Thai government. This is an effort to keep elephants and their owners from bringing these lovely animals to wandering around in the streets in Bangkok, which is quite harmful for both animals and can cause tragic accidents.
Ban Ta Klang Elephant village is about 1 hour of drive from Muang Surin, or Surin City. and about 500 kilometres from Bangkok.
