Thailand has its own set of "Seven Wonders." Elephant Polo made the the Tourism Authority of Thailand's calendar as the 6th largest event as part of a promotion campaign for the country's unique attractions. The King's Cup Elephant Polo tournament began in 2001 as a charitable event to raise funds for the National Elephant Institute in Lampang, Northern Thailand. Since its inception, the event raised more than $175,000 U.S. dollars. The 2008 tournament will take place from March 31 to April 6.
