Elephants are important to the people of Thailand for two reasons. Elephants have a deep religious meaning within the Hindu and Buddhist religions. A story is told about Buddha's mother and a dream she had about a white elephant before he was born. The Hindu god Ganesha is said to have the head of an elephant, because the elephant is so smart. In every day life the elephants of Thailand were used for clearing out forests, making it easy for people to open up trade routes. Although, today, elephants are very seldom used for logging they are very popular with the tourists and a trained elephant can become part of the family.
