The Wood Hotel 🏨

🏩(Private) is a top-notch hotel in Surin city. Its modern design blends perfectly with the diverse trees and wall paintings, creating a unique and impressive atmosphere. 🚪Inside the rooms, the simple and comfortable layout is well-organized, with warm lighting and a light fragrance that makes it an ideal place to relax. (The bed is so comfortable that you won't want to get up!) 🍽️The breakfast here is delicious (we chose pork bone soup), and no additional seasoning is needed. 🌟The service staff is excellent, and the parking is convenient. Highly recommended! #TravelSurin #CafesInSurin #AccommodationInSurinCity #HotelsInSurinCity

One day trip

I took my family for one-day trip to Surin province. First we visited Prasat Sikoraphum which is half an hour from Surin city center. Hat or umbrella is recommended for such a sunny day. The temple is small but nice enough to drive out. Then we visited Phanom Sawai forest park including Big white Buddha up hill. There is sunset spot behind the Buddha with beautiful overlooking small pond.

Surin, Thailand

While most museums prioritize the display of objects, the Elephant Museum also aims to convey the voice of the Kui and their elephants; to communicate the unique familial bonds between them and to transmit the devastating impacts of habitat destruction. The building’s distinct footprint and profile stand out on the barren site. Sloping and interlocking in an almost labyrinthine layout, the museum’s curved walls vary in height, their spacing seems to be scaled to the size of a Thai elephant. The museum architecturally translates the spatial rhythms of the elephants lives, as they go from the shelter of their homes to the forested pathways that lead to bathing rivers, and then to muddy dirt playgrounds. Unique courtyard spaces open off of the four exhibition galleries, each distinct in shape and size. Some contain little ponds while others are enlivened by reddish earth. A material perspective is not inconsequential. The museum is built from over 480,0000 handmade clay bricks, fired locally using a longstanding technique. The construction process bolstered the local economy, providing income and jobs, also valorizing the material. In this sense, the material decision reinforce the raison d’etre of the Elephant Museum: it is meant to “empower the Kui, the elephants, and the people of Surin..[e]ncouraging them to take pride in their heritage, and restoring the dignity of their beloved elephants once again. #kidsoceanworld #thailandmarkets #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes

Elephant Festival

Once a year, Surin province is hosting Elephant festival. They are bringing huge number of elephants from villages for the shows in the city center. There are elephant shows two times a day. Many food stalls, pants shop and clothing around the area. It’s definitely the biggest event in Surin. Also we went to Kon Khmer restaurant which has high quality Vietnamese cuisine.
