The escutcheon of
Surin
shows the statue of an elephant and on its back a pedestal with the god
Indra. In the background stands the ruin of a
chedi.
The elephant reflects that this province has always had many
elephants.
Indra, in Thai
Phra In,
refers to the name of the province
(Sur-In), and the chedi bears witness to the ancient
Khmer
influences abundant in this region.
