Another page for my d/dil's album that includes a wonderful photo of Thailand from Pinterest. I wanted to include pages showing her homeland mingled with her precious family photos, and in the process have learned much about the country and people of Thailand. I wanted elephants, so collected palace and other fancy elephants, but this photo really touched me.

Paraphrased from Pinterest:
The elephant is the symbol of Thailand, but today's Asian elephant is generally unemployed, and many are homeless, wandering the roads and streets of Bangkok and other cities looking for food. Until logging was banned in 1989, elephants were laborers working in the jungles. Now, tame elephants wander the streets of cities begging for food. Elephants have been big business for the country, but are struggling to survive now, due to restrictive laws banning them from roadways and city streets. If a mahout isn't lucky enough to find a spot in one of the Tourism Authority camps, he and his elephant are relegated to wandering the streets with sacks of sugarcane for tourists to feed the elephant, or just plain begging in order to stay alive.
