Annual Elephant Satok Fair |

With elephants being revered in Thailand, the Thai Elephants Conservation
Centre was established to help preserve these majestic creatures.
Every year, an Elephant Fair is held and the Centre organises
a khantoke, a northern style meal, as part of the festivities.

and elephant conservation projects. The fair also features a spectacular
northern style procession as well as cultural shows and music
typical of the north.
