The annual Elephant Festival in Thailand is to thank the elephants in Thailand, because their ancestors gave their lives in the war against foreign enemies and defending the country. From 14 to 18 century, elephants were used to transport soldiers into the battlefield.

Elephants are auspicious animals and national treasures in Thailand. In ancient times, it was not only an indispensable means of transportation in daily life, but also the mount of King China in the war. But at present, there are only about 3,000 wild elephants in Thailand, and only about 4,000 elephants are raised artificially. The problem of overfishing elephants still exists.

Since 1998, the Thai government has designated March 13 as the "Elephant Festival", hoping to arouse people's love for elephants and inherit elephant culture through the "Elephant Festival".
