King's Cup Elephant Polo Tournament |

| King's Cup Elephant Polo Tournament |
 |
| |
Around 30 elephants and their trainers compete at the King's Cup Elephant Polo tournament, held at the Anantara Resort in the Golden Triangle. Follow the parade, feed the elephants and watch as players pound the 100-metre pitch swinging three-metre mallets.
Elephant Polo was first played by Mogul Indian Kings, but was reinvented in 1982 by an Englishman (Jim Edwards) and a Scotsman (James Mann-Clark) in Switzerland. Since then tournaments have been played in Nepal and Sri Lanka, as well as Thailand.
Two teams of three elephants play two chukkas of ten minutes each. Players use specially elongated polo sticks and regular polo balls. It's a slower, but no less noble, spectacle than normal polo played with horses.
Teams from all over South-East Asia and beyond compete. Elephants and mahouts (carers) take a week off work to play and all profits go to the Thai Elephant Conservation Centre in Lampang, Northern Thailand, which provides welfare for more than 4000 wild and domesticated elephants.
Performances by an Elephant Orchestra and Elephant Painting take place each day at the polo grounds. An auction of paintings and polo memorabilia at the end of the week raise further funds for this worthy cause
