And in Thailand, on March 13, it takes place under the sign of an elephant day! The celebration is noted by conducting large -scale events. But, if earlier this day, Thais celebrated exclusively joyfully, today with a share of sadness. The number of elephants in the country is catastrophically reduced. Some century ago in Thailand there were about one hundred thousand wild and domestic elephants, and today-only 3-4 thousand. Despite the fact that there are practically no left in the wild.
