Street elephants of Bangkok Although it is illegal to bring elephants into Bangkok, the poverty in Thailand’s rural areas, the loss of the elephants’ natural habitat, the resulting threat of starvation and the elephant’s special status in Thai history evoke sympathy among Thais. Most police, politicians and citizens turn a blind eye to the urban elephants, failing to address the underlying issues and allowing the situation to remain ‘The Elephant in the Room.’
