The image showcases a postman in his traditional attire, mounted on an awe-inspiring elephant. As they traverse through the bustling streets, the majestic creature carries a flag adorned with the sacred white elephant symbol - an emblem synonymous with authority and reverence. This historical snapshot offers us a glimpse into the unique communication methods employed by Thai postmen during that time. With their trusty elephants as steadfast companions, these dedicated individuals ensured that messages reached their intended recipients across vast distances.
