About Surin

Surin is a large province in the Mun River Basin of Thailand’s Northeastern Isan region. Although the exact history of the town is not well documented, the area is famous for its people’s unique skill: capturing and taming elephants. The Suay or Kuay people (meaning simply “people”) are believed to have migrated here thousands of years ago, earning a reputation for elephant handling that continues to be celebrated today.

In addition to elephants, Surin is rich in Khmer heritage, with many ruins dating back to the era when the Angkor Empire controlled the region. The province is also renowned for its beautiful silk weaving and for growing Thailand’s famous jasmine rice.

Some notable attractions include:

  • City Pillar Shrine – redesigned by the Fine Arts Department, featuring a 3-meter-high Java Cassia wooden pillar.

  • Huai Saneng Reservoir – part of the Surin Irrigation Project, offering peaceful natural views.

  • Wat Burapharam – home to Luang Phor Phra Chee, a sacred Buddha image in the posture of subduing Mara, highly respected by locals.

Surin is also well known for its local products such as silk, cotton cloth, wickerwork, silverware, carved ivory, preserved radish, white pork sausages, grilled pork, and pork floss. These items reflect both the cultural traditions and culinary richness of the province.
