Surin, located near the Thai-Cambodian border, is preparing to welcome visitors to the historic Ta Kwai temple and Hill 350 starting November 14-15. The two-day event is expected to draw around 2,000 tourists daily, contributing to the local economy during the Surin Elephant Round-up and Red Cross Fair.

Visitors can explore Ta Kwai temple and Hill 350 without pre-registration by driving to Ban Thai Santisuk School in Bak Dai subdistrict. Shuttle vehicles will transport them to the sites, with a return ticket costing 100 baht. Children under 130 centimeters and elderly visitors will travel for free. Over 150 officials will provide security and assistance along the way.

The district chief hopes linking the historic sites with the province's annual elephant festival and sporting events will attract visitors and generate income for locals.
