AYUTTHAYA, Thailand - Elephants dressed as Santa Claus gave out presents and candy to students in Thailand in an annual Christmas tradition in the mostly Buddhist country. The Christmas celebration at the Jirasartwitthaya school in Ayutthaya, north of Bangkok, has run for 15 years. This year four elephants and their mahouts, also wearing Santa hats, visited the school and gave away presents to the students, said Lardthongtare Meepan, owner of the Ayuttahaya Elephant Palace, an elephant camp.
“The highlight is not only handing out presents, but also students and elephants are forming a Christmas tree together,” he said.“I’m very happy to see them and they are very cute. I love elephants because it dances very cute,” says Patcharamon Sukpiromsunti, a primary school student.“It makes me feel like I have a lot of friends. The elephants handing out candies, toys, dolls and so many other things,” student Pasitha Sithapak said.
