Thailand’s
popular King’s Cup Elephant Polo Tournament, organised by Anantara
Resorts, will return to the hills in 2008 from March 31 to April 6 in the northern-most region of the country known
as the Golden Triangle.
This popular
event was introduced to Thailand in 2001 and is a charitable event that raises money for the country’s National Elephant
Institute in Lampang, Northern Thailand. Hosting the event in the far North ensures that the
international spotlight is focused onto a very unique and special part of Thailand, showcasing the
beauty of the natural landscape of the Golden Triangle region – a natural home of
elephants.
To officially launch the tournament, Anantara Resorts will host a kick-off match at the grounds of the
‘1st Infantry Regiment King’s Own Bodyguard’, in Vipavadi Rangsit, Bangkok on September 21,
2007.
The
event is open to the public in the afternoon of the special match of
celebrities such as Sririta Jansen, Lt Vantita Lewchalermwongse,
M.L.Rangsithorn Bhanubandh, Sunansa Jiramaneekul, Changnoi Kunjara Na
Ayudhaya, Kornkanok Yongsakul and many other known faces, seasoned
elephant polo players, colourful parades with a mini fashion show and
pachyderms will provide a taste of the excitement to come.
