Elephants have been
regarded as domestic animals of Thailand
for a long time. Especially with the
monarchy that classified the white
elephant as one of the auspicious
objects of the Satratana, or the 7
crystals, which is the symbol of the
emperor.
At present, the white elephant has been
declared as the national symbol animal
and is a phrase used to refer to someone
with outstanding abilities in some field
but who lived in a remote area before
they were discovered.
