King's Cup Elephant Polo

Pack Your Trunks Kids, Win a Trip to Thailand and Become Anantara’s 2012 Roving Elephant Reporter

After last year’s hugely successful worldwide search, Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas is once again looking for a keen elephant lover and budding TV star aged between 7 and 15 to become this year’s Roving Elephant Reporter, at the 11th King’s Cup Elephant Polo Tournament (Sept. 12-16, 2012) in Hua Hin Thailand.

Created to cover the larger than life games from a perspective that has never been seen or heard before, the young winner will become a media star in the making as they create a video report on the event, as well as enjoying an all expenses paid seven night stay at Anantara Riverside Resort and Spa in Bangkok and Anantara Hua Hin Resort & Spa, Thailand, with an accompanying adult, including return air fares.

The winner of Anantara’s hunt for a Roving Elephant Reporter will become a star of the ele polo circuit, delivering a television report with VIP access to all areas.
