Joe – A Talented Thai Artist with a Passion for Elephants

At Elephant Parade, each elephant sculpture represents not just the beauty of the animal but also the stories of the artists who bring these statues to life. One artist who stands out is Thale Sukpranee, affectionately known as Joe, the winner of our prestigious Artbox competition. Joe, a talented and passionate elephant artist from Thailand, has been honored with designing the lead-elephant for the upcoming Elephant Parade Hua Hin 2024.


A Journey Inspired by Nature and Tradition

Joe’s journey into the world of art started in his youth, where his love for creativity and nature blossomed. Growing up in the picturesque regions of Thailand, he developed a profound connection with elephants, which often serve as symbols of wisdom and strength in Thai culture. His background, combined with his artistic flair, has allowed him to create breathtaking decorated elephants that capture the essence of Thailand’s vibrant traditions while also offering a contemporary twist.


Creating the Lead-Elephant for Hua Hin

His lead-elephant design for Hua Hin is a true masterpiece of elephant art. Joe’s artistic style is known for its intricate detail and use of bold, captivating colors. His work not only adds a touch of decoration elephant to homes and collections but also carries a deeper message of elephant conservation and the importance of preserving these gentle giants. Each stroke of his brush tells a story of harmony between man and nature, reminding us of the delicate balance that we must protect.


More Than Just Art – A Symbol of Hope

Joe’s elephant is more than just art; it is a symbol of hope.
