Surin was a part of the Khmer empire. Scattered temple ruins and a large ethnic Khmer population are remnants from that period. Surin today is well-known for its annual Elephant Round Up, which usually takes place in the third week of November and attracts visitors from all over the world. It is 457 kilometers from Bangkok.

Surin seems to be synonymous to the Elephant Fair, annually held in the third weekend of November. Although the event is certainly the highlight, Surin has also much more to offer. Once located right on the pilgrimage route linking Khmer, Thailand, and Laos, Surin is dotted with many Khmer temples and monuments, very interesting to explore. Its elephant camp, basketry and silk-weaving villages are also of interest.
