Biggest elephant show in Thailand

Thousands of tourists have flocked to Thailand's Surin province for an annual elephant show which is said to be the largest of its kind.

Surin has long been a national centre for the majority of domesticated elephants in Thailand. Elephant football is the all time favorite for all the mahouts, the audience and the elephants.



With eleven elephants a side, it is not easy for the referee to catch a foul play.

The festival started in 1960 and has now become one of Thailand's biggest tourist draws
