The white elephant pavilion


In Thailand the white elephants are not necessarily white. They can look similar to other elephants except for certain features like fair eyelashes and toenails, light-colored hair or a reddish hue to the skin.
Compared to the white elephants in Thailand, which always are belong to the Thai King, this animal in Myanmar is clear and white the whole body.
White elephants, actually albinos, have for centuries been revered in Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and other Asian nations. They were normally kept and pampered by monarchs and considered a symbol of royal power and prosperity.
