Elephant Parade is returning to Bangkok with its stunning open-air art exhibition! From December 15, 2024, to February 15, 2025, the historic neighborhoods of Talad Noi and Songwat Road will transform into a vibrant outdoor gallery, featuring nearly 40 exquisitely designed elephant statues. This incredible event blends art, culture, and conservation in one unforgettable experience.
Elephant Parade is a global initiative that combines art and conservation.

Each elephant tells a unique story, raising awareness and funds for the protection of endangered Asian elephants.
