this is the Elephant building. this building is very fascinating in terms of its architecture. the shape/form of elephant can show many aspect regarding the notion of Thainess or Kahrm Pen Thai. Elephant has always been the symbol of our countries since Rama the forth established the White Elephant flag to be our nation's flag. However, later on in Rama the Sixth's reign, he changed our nation's flag to be Three-colored flag in order to prevent the problem of hanging the flag topsy-turvily. White elephant is also the emblem of the king. in premodern days, Thai people's ways of live are maginicently influenced by the Elephant. we use them to be our "only" means of transportation for all classes of people, raging from the king to peasant. Nowadays, elephant is our nation's symbol in terms of tourism. We use the elephant farm to be the tourist attraction.
