Lonely Planet review for Royal Thai Elephant Museum

Thais consider albinism auspicious, so all white elephants are considered royal property (Rama IX keeps one at his palace). Dusit Palace had two stables for keeping white elephants and this museum remembers these lucky creatures with displays explaining the ranks of elephants and their important role in Thai society.
