How about a white elephant? Thought so. These animals are so rare, yet they embody everything that is deemed important and sacred. Monarchs searched north, south, east and west for these guys. Some succeed, most don\u2019t. Why are they so revered? Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n<p>Its importance stems from the tales of Buddha\u2019s birth.\u00a0On the eve of delivery, Buddha\u2019s mother dreamt of a white elephant presenting her with a lotus flower, a sign of wisdom and purity.\u00a0Because of this story, white elephants became a symbol of fertility and wisdom. It also helps that these animals are few and far in between.<\/p>\n<p>Definition of white elephant: a valuable but burdensome possession of which its owner cannot dispose and whose cost (particularly cost of upkeep) is out of proportion to its usefulness or worth. The meaning has its roots in the region. On certain cases, white elephants were presented or exchanged as a diplomatic gesture.\u00a0 To receive a white elephant is considered a blessing yet is also noted for its nuisance. The animal\u2019s sacredness and the actual act of the monarch giving away something that valuable is a big enough of an action to show the king\u2019s good-will gesture. The downside though stems from its practical use, which comes to nil because of the labor laws protecting it. Plus, it was very expensive to care for. Despite this, to be given a white elephant is a high honor, and many will make the necessary sacrifices in order to receive and keep this gift.<\/p>\n<p>There were several items a King needed in order to rule successfully: a perfect wife, riches, a capable chief minister, a swift horse and most importantly possession of white elephants.\u00a0For a monarch to keep a white elephant, it signifies that they will rule with justice and power, and that the kingdom was blessed with peace and prosperity. Kings would divert a lot of time and energy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exotravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Old-Thai-flag-with-White-Elephant.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-7050\" style=\"border: 1px solid #cccccc; margin: 15px;\" title=\"Old Thai flag with White Elephant\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exotravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Old-Thai-flag-with-White-Elephant.jpg\"  width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exotravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Old-Thai-flag-with-White-Elephant.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.exotravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Old-Thai-flag-with-White-Elephant-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>capturing these animals.\u00a0The more he had, the more prosperous his kingdom would be and the longer and more successful his reign would be as well.\u00a0However, if any white elephants died during his reign, it foretold disaster for the King and his kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>Today, white elephants are very rare.\u00a0The last one to be discovered in the wild was in Myanmar in 1961.\u00a0They are still highly venerated in Southeast Asia today with sculptures, wood carvings, paintings and murals depicting these animals in temples, museums and art galleries.\u00a0Thailand\u2019s old flag has a white elephant depicted in the center.<\/p>\n<p>Well, we would be lying if we told you you\u2019d see a white elephant during your trip to Southeast Asia.
