It’s Labor Day. Almost.
Time to talk about leisurely/holiday-weekend-y pursuits. Sort of.
Just you. A lush, green lawn. A picnic blanket. Something cold to drink. And a bunch of 13,000-pound mammals playing polo for your amusement.
Grab a foam finger and get ready for the
Elephant Polo VIP Experience, a four-day pass to the King’s Cup, Thai elephant polo’s version of March Madness, taking reservations now for September 12.
Okay, so this is polo (you know polo). Played on elephants (
you know elephants). Try to imagine the logistics behind it. Right... that’s sort of impossible. Better yet, just hop a plane for Hua Hin and see for yourself.
The accommodations for these matches: grand. You’ll take in the action from the confines of a VIP tent that’s overflowing with whiskey, royalty and pop-up Thai massage parlors (sort of beats Cracker Jack vendors).
And after the conclusion of each day’s games (they’ll either end in victory, tie or stampede), there’ll be a limo waiting to whisk you back to a reserved beachside hotel suite. Where you’ll unwind on a terrace overlooking a backyard jungle lagoon.
While using the resort’s wi-fi to update your fantasy elephant polo team.
