White elephants is a very rare animals. Every white elephant that found is belong to Siam king (Thailand right now).
A long time ago, when King dislike somebody, he will give white elephant to that person. Why? it is scared animal how come he give it to the people that he dislike?

It is because of much money that people need to take care the white elephant. White elephant is scared (once again), and he didn't allow to do anything, any work. You need to provide the food, the accommodation, everything. That's why if you did't have much much of money and there is a white elephant with you. You will get bankrupt soon.

The term of white elephant which is unwilling stuff in western is believed comes from this story. Anyway, you can find white elephants only in Laos and Thailand. So, just going there if you want to see this "unwilling stuff" hahaha. kidding.

A white elephant is a rare kind of elephant, but not a distinct species. Although often depicted as snow white, their skin is normally a soft reddish-brown, turning a light pink when wet. They have fair eyelashes and toenails.
