SAMUT PRAKAN: After a fun and ferocious first day of elephant polo, attended by teams from all over the world as well as VIP guests, the second day, known as Children's Day, offered a showcase of skilful play and plenty of memorable moments for the kids yesterday.
Children at the King's Cup Polo Tournament yesterday.
Heavy rain delayed play in the morning, resulting in a sudden-death shoot-out which saw eight teams battle it out in the King's Cup Elephant Polo Tournament at VR Sports Club.
Casillero del Diablo, Mekhong, Hendricks Gin and Bangkok Bank each won their penalty shoot-outs with all the winning teams advancing to the semi-finals.

On Chang Noi Day (Little Elephant Day), children from local schools all over Bangkok were invited to get up close with the elephants.
A number of educational activities were arranged for the kids.
