Surin: Elephant academy and royal silk
“Destination Thailand” is a weekly half-hour travel and lifestyle show airing on the MCOT World network in Thailand and select cable systems worldwide.
Our Isan adventure in September 2012 takes us to Surin, where we discover an elephant training academy where the mahouts live with their star pupils, and a silk weaving village creating a gold brocade design that can be worn only by royalty.
