说到泰国,除了阳光、沙滩、宫殿、寺庙、榴莲,你还会想到什幺?大象!泰国素有“大象之邦”的盛誉。无论是在著名的旅游景点还是繁华的曼谷街头,你几乎可以在泰国任何地方看到大象营地。别看大象笨笨的样子,它们的智商可高着呢(因为它们有超级大的大脑)!踢足球、拔河、才艺表演之类的,根本难不倒它们。而且它们善解人意、刻苦耐劳、充满灵性,既能充当廉价的劳动力,又是乖巧的旅游宠物。然而随着时代的发展,人们已经很少用大象进行传统劳作,“失业”的大象被迫改行,为游客表演节目。为了感谢大象的祖先们在古代战争中对国家的贡献(14至18世纪,象群常常被用于载运士兵进入战场),泰国每年11月都会在素林府举行盛大的大象节。一起看看这个富有当地特色的传统宗教节日吧。 Speaking of Thailand, in addition to the sun, beaches, palaces, temples, durian, what would you think of? Elephant! Thailand is known as the “Elephant State” reputation. Whether in the famous tourist spots or bustling Bangkok streets, you can see elephant camps from almost anywhere in Thailand. Do not look like the elephants stupid way, their IQ can be high (because they have a super brain)! Play football, tug of war, talent shows and the like, do not fall at all. And they are considerate, hardworking, full of spirituality, both as cheap labor, but also well-behaved travel pets. However, with the development of the times, people have seldom used traditional elephants to work, and “unemployed” elephants are forced to divert to perform programs for tourists. To thank the ancestors of the elephants for their contribution to the nation during the ancient war (elephants were often used to carry soldiers into the battlefield in the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries), Thailand held a grand elephant festival in Surin Province every November. Take a look at this traditional religious festival full of local characteristics.
