Thai Elephant Day
on March 13th
泰国每年举行大象节是为了感谢泰国的大象，因为它们的祖先曾在战争中献出生命来抵御外敌、保卫国家。在14至18世纪时，象群被用于载运士兵进入战场。
大象是泰国的吉祥动物、国宝，在古代不仅是日常生活中必不可少的重要交通工具，也是战争中国王的坐骑。然而，现今泰国全国野生大象仅存约3000头，人工饲养的大象也只有4000头左右，滥捕大象的问题仍然存在。泰国政府从1998年起，将每年的3月13日定为"大象节"，希望通过"大象节"唤起民众对大象的爱护及对大象文化的传承。

Here is a website article.
Hello. We are students from Thailand, and we want to save the elephants. The elephant is one of Thailand’s symbols. Our first flag had a white elephant on it. This is a symbol of good luck.
Elephants are smart animals. They can play soccer or music. They can also draw very well.
People say that “an elephant never forgets”. Elephants can walk for a long time and never
get lost. They can also remember places with food and water. This helps them to live.
But elephants are in great danger. People cut down many trees so elephants are losing their
homes. People also kill elephants for their ivory. Today there are only about 3,000 elephants
(over 100,000 before). We must save the trees and not buy things made of ivory. Remember
that March 13th is Thai Elephant Day.
