Santa Claus gave his sleigh and reindeer a break on Wednesday. He rode elephants in Thailand during a special Christmas visit to raise awareness about the danger of the coronavirus.
"They are funny and they are lovely. I think they are so cute," said elementary student Laksaporn Loetpiriyakamol.
The elephants have been paying year-end visits to schools in the area for twenty years and normally give out gifts like candy and toys using their trunks.
This year, the pachyderms were social distancing, staying outside the schools and used their trunks to offer the face masks in baskets instead.
"These four elephants want to symbolize Thai Santa Claus to encourage people to wear masks, wash their hands and follow government instructions," said Itthi Pankhawlamai, who manages a local elephant park.
"I'm a little bit excited and sad because the elephants can't go into the school," said Pacharamon Sukphiromsanti, 12, who came out to greet the elephants at the gates.
