During March, April and May, steady southerly breezes blow throughout much of Thailand. The Thai’s, never one’s to miss a chance for a good time, have responded to this natural phenomenon by developing a tradition of flying kites. When the winds arrive, arrays of beautiful kites appear to strut their stuff and engage opponents in combat. No where is this more apparent than in the open spaces around Cha-am and at the Thailand International Kite Festival.
Now in its tenth year, the festival, which is scheduled in early March, features kites in all their colourful glory. There are stunt kites, big kites, little kites, high tech kites, traditional Thai kites, and displays of international kites. There are a variety of contests, games, and activities -all involving kites. But the festival is more than an event surrounding kites. Cha-am and its neighbours gussy up for the event and welcome visitors with a variety of opportunities for shopping, sightseeing, and simply having a good time.

Hoteliers, the Vintage Car Club of Thailand, and the Tourist Authority of Thailand annually sponsor a ‘parade’ of vintage and classic cars starting at the Sofitel Central in Bangkok and ending in at the Sofitel Central Hua Hin RESORT. The cars, with drivers and passengers decked out in 1920’s attire, make the 225km promenade in December of each year. The festivities culminate with a 1920’s party at the Sofitel, which appropriately is a Victorian-style structure built in the 1920’s.
Built during the reign of King Rama VI, and only a short distance from the centre of town, Hua Hin’s railway station and the adjacent Royal Waiting Room are attractive and brightly painted wooden buildings that are Thai in concept and design, but somehow manage to have a ‘Victorian’ feel. Even if you don’t arrive at THE RESORT by train, go and have a look.

Looking for a unique weekend? How about a game of polo… on Elephant-back. A charity event since 2001, The Anantara King’s Cup Elephant Polo tournament helps to raise money for orphan elephants in Thailand.
The Anantara King’s Cup Elephant Polo 2014
Thought not as fast as traditional horse-back polo, the event is entertaining nevertheless. Each elephant carries 2 people: a mahout (driver), and a player. As these are Thai elephants, the elephant will respond only to commands spoken in Thai. A game lasts for 14 minutes, with two 7 minute “chukkas” (halves). There is a 15 minute break between each “chukka” (half). A few rules include…
Elephants (and riders) can not lie down in front of the goal
Elephants can not pick up the ball with their trunks!
When the event began back in 2001, there were only 2 teams. Growing in popularity, last year’s King’s cup Elephant Polo had 16.
Only domestically bred Thai elephants are used in the event. Elephants are DNA tested and chipped to verify wild / smuggled elephants are not used in the game.
Young (less than 20 years old), and fit for the event.
Limited play time: To ensure well being and comfort, each elephant is only allowed 30 minutes of Polo time per day.
In previous years, The King’s Cup Elephant Polo was held in Hua Hin, a laid-back BEACH town 2-3 hours south of Bangkok. Due to it’s increasing popularity, the event has been MOVED to the Siam Polo Park at the VR Sports Club (link) roughly 20km outside Bangkok.
Money raised during the events goes towards elephant charities and preservation efforts. To date, the event has raised $750,000 USD for various elephant groups around Thailand.
In addition to helping raise money for our 4 legged friends and having fun, there’s a strong chance you might bump into Thai celebrities, super models, and international athletes mingling in the crowds! The atmosphere is lively and provides for a few enjoyable days watching something unique.
