What do you think is the reason why Thailand is called the land of elephants?

It may be that Thailand has its own unique experience in domesticating elephants, because there will be elephants in many tourist attractions, and then there will be many residents who use elephants to carry various production items. It can be said that the lives of their people are closely linked to elephants. That's why it's called the Land of Elephants.

The jungle and mountainous areas north of Chiang Mai City, Thailand, are the main haunts of Thai elephants, elephants are auspicious symbols in the minds of the Thai people, regarded as national treasures by Thai people, and are their most loyal friends, so Thailand will have the title of the elephant state.

Speaking of this, I thought of watching Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng's "Thai Embarrassment" before, which was filmed in Thailand at that time, and elephants also appeared in it, and I remembered that Thailand has the title of "Elephant State". In fact, there are deep religious roots in Thailand. Later, when I inquired about the information, I also saw a legend, that is, the Buddha Shakyamuni was born after his mother dreamed of a white elephant, and Thailand takes Buddhism as the state religion.

Thai elephants are connected to people, they are industrious, capable and intelligent. Since ancient times, elephants have been a symbol of victory, prosperity and good luck in the hearts of Thai people. As early as the Ayutthaya Dynasty, in a battle between Thailand and Burma, hundreds of elephants rushed into battle, arched their heads and kicked, and quickly defeated the Burmese army, becoming a glorious page in Thai history.

When I traveled to Thailand with my family last year, I did see a lot of elephants. Elephant carvings have been seen in many temples, some full-length and some half-bodyed. At the time, I thought it was because of Thai aesthetics, but later I learned that in the eyes of Thai people, elephants are a symbol of the king's strength, and elephants are also the most spiritual animals.

And there's even an elephant village in Thalang, Thailand, where people are friends with elephants. The Thai people love elephants so much, it's no wonder that they are known as the "Elephant State".

Different occasions, different environments, and different conditions, elephants can find their own use and contribute their wisdom to humans. In the mountainous areas of the countryside, elephants work in obscurity, creating rich material fruits for people with their sweat. In the city's parks, elephants learn to perform their arts, and use their wisdom to bring people pleasant spiritual enjoyment.

It can be said that elephants can be seen anytime and anywhere in Thailand, and their relationship with the locals is inextricably linked.

As we all know, Thailand is best known for its tourism industry, and it can be said that tourism is quite important to Thailand. And an adult elephant has to eat more than 300 kilograms of food every day, which can be raised just by putting it in the vegetable garden at home. Therefore, it is very necessary to use elephants to develop tourism and make money, and many elephant riding projects in Thailand have actually led to the development of local tourism, so elephants have a high status in Thailand.

Hello subject! Because in the eyes of the Thais, the elephant is a symbol of the king's strength, and the elephant is also the most spiritual animal, and the people there are friends with the elephant. ‍

Because there are a lot of elephants in Thailand, and the distance between Thai people and elephants is very close, elephants even help them with their work.

Traveling to Thailand on Qingming Festival, there is a recreation project is to ride elephants, we have seen that there are really a lot of elephants in Thailand before, and then we saw many places with elephants, as if they also have a god called Elephant God. In short, the most I see in Thailand are elephants.

Because I think the elephant in Thailand is a particularly sacred symbol for them

Because there are more elephants in Thailand, it is also more famous, and elephants are used as mounts.
