Experience 55 Works of Art in the Old Town

This isn't your average art show. The exhibition features a massive collection of 55 elephant statues scattered throughout the area. Exploring this elephant parade in Thailand is like walking through an open-air museum where every corner holds a surprise.

You will see stunning creativity, such as the industrial-style "Metal Elephant" by Robot Steel Phetchabun, which perfectly matches the gritty charm of Talad Noi. Other highlights include the "China Town" and "Mahjong" elephants by Nartkanok Lao-Amata, paying homage to the local culture. There are also fun, quirky designs like the "INDIGO BLUE TUK TUK" and the sparkly "Disco Disco Silver". Seeing this diversity is what makes the elephant parade in Thailand such a joy to photograph.

Join the Treasure Hunt Adventure

Here is a secret tip for you: don't just look at the art—interact with it! This year’s elephant parade in Thailand features an exciting Treasure Hunt Competition.

It turns your visit into a real adventure. On the plinth (base) of various statues, you will find hidden numbers and alphabet characters. Your mission is to collect these clues and fill in the correct letters to complete a puzzle. Once you think you have cracked the code, scan the QR code at the event to watch the "How to Play" video and submit your answer. This interactive game is a unique feature of the current elephant parade in Thailand.
