Elephant Facts
Elephants play an important role in Thai culture and are used in forestry and mountain jobs, and sometimes for entertainment. They were also used to protect Thailand against attacks from Burma a long time ago. The Thais also revere white elephants which they consider to be rare and is said to symbolize royal power. The number of white elephants a king has in his control is said to symbolize his power. As a result, the white elephant was featured on the emblem of the national flag of Siam until the country was renamed “Thailand”.
