Thailand (Ecological Observances) - National Thai Elephant Day
National Thai Elephant Day was established by the Thai government in 1998. It's annually celebrated on March 13, the anniversary, when the white elephant was added to the old version of the Thai flag.
Elephants have always been a part of the history of Thailand. Despite elephants are protected in Thailand, their population is vastly declining during the last century. Nowadays, about 3,000-4,000 elephants live in Thailand, most of them are held in captivity.
