Environment
Bound to the east by the Gulf of Thailand and to the west by the Andaman Sea, an
extension of the Indian Ocean, Thailand possesses one of the most alluring coastlines
in the world, with exquisitely carved limestone formations above water and tremend-
ously rich coral reefs below. Hundreds of tropical islands of all shapes and sizes ad-
orn the coast, from flat sand bars covered in mangroves to looming karst massifs
licked by azure waters and ringed by white sand beaches.
If anyone in Thailand comes across a white elephant, it must be reported to the Bureau of the Royal
Household, and the King will decide whether it meets the criteria to be a royal white elephant.
