After a successful and engaging exhibition at Terminal 21 Pattaya, Elephant Parade Pattaya 2025 now enters its second phase. From April 1 to 30, the parade continues across Pattaya and Jomtien, transforming public spaces into a vibrant, open-air celebration of elephant art, culture, and purpose.
This second chapter brings the iconic elephant statues into the heart of the city—into parks, promenades, and cultural corners—inviting locals and visitors alike to take part in a city-wide exhibition that bridges creativity and elephant conservation.
The first phase of the parade focused on interactive discovery, with the Elephant Treasure Hunt drawing visitors into a playful, family-friendly experience. Guests explored Terminal 21 in search of clues hidden among the 35 hand-painted elephant sculptures.
But this experience was about more than fun—it was an invitation to look closer at the artistry and meaning behind each elephant statue, and to connect with the deeper message of elephant conservation that lies at the heart of the Elephant Parade. Elephant Parade raises awareness for the protection of Asian elephants through accessible and engaging public art.
With the elephants now displayed across a variety of outdoor locations in Pattaya and Jomtien, the second part of the parade invites a slower, more reflective experience. It's no longer about finding them all in one place—it's about discovering the meaning and message behind each work of elephant art, often right where you least expect it.
Among the 35 elephant sculptures, two new designs are introduced during the parade:
Catrina Elefante
Artist: Narin Kantawong
Inspired by Mexico’s iconic Día de los Muertos, Catrina Elefante features intricate sugar skull motifs, swirling floral patterns, and bold colors that honor both life and memory. The design draws from the symbolism of La Catrina, a cultural icon that celebrates the beauty of remembrance and the enduring bond between generations.
This vibrant elephant statue is a stunning example of how elephant art can connect global traditions and raise awareness for important causes like elephant conservation—all through the language of color and design.
Nightlife
Artist: Khunakorn Muenpang
Where many see nightfall as an ending, Nightlife sees a beginning. This elephant explores the quiet transformation that happens when the world slows down—when new thoughts are born, when energy is renewed, and when life begins again. With its deep tones and contemplative feel, Nightlife is a powerful reminder that every day ends with the promise of something new. This elephant sculpture encourages viewers to reflect on the cycles of life—both in nature and within themselves—and connects art with introspection in a way that is both personal and universal.
Throughout April, Elephant Parade Pattaya 2025 brings this unique outdoor exhibition to Pattaya and Jomtien. Whether you're a local or a visitor, this is your chance to experience world-class elephant art in the open air—accessible, meaningful, and completely free.
