Elephants painted as pandas were seen at the Royal Elephant Kraal in Ayutthaya province, 80 km (50 miles) north of Bangkok. Five of the elephants were led on a walkabout to send a message to the Thai public not to ignore its elephants, the symbolic animal of Thailand, after a female panda and its newborn baby in the Chiang Mai zoo have captured the attention of the public.
