Thailand being the land of Buddhism also features wildlife as a major part of it. Three animals which feature heavily in Thai Culture are the Elephant, the Tiger and the Monkey
Elephant
Hold the world — Elephant, rise!
The land is calling you.
Move!
Hold the world!
We honour you.
White form in Queen Maya’s dream, stepping from the dawnlight,
Bringing the Buddha’s birth through a vision deep and bright,
Ancient bearer walking paths where temple banners sway,
Royal honour follows you through every passing day,
Revered as Ganesha in shrines where offerings rise,
You stands in the Thai Zodiac, sacred in Thailand’s eyes.
Hold the world — Elephant, stand!
The land is calling you.
Stand!
Hold the world!
We honour you.
You uphold the Universe in the old cosmology, Fourfold pillars turning with the Zodiac’s harmony, Royal courts remember you in every age and reign, Forest sovereign walking with a calm and steady strain, Ganesha’s presence carried in the temple’s sacred line, Elephant walks the Thai Zodiac through every auspicious sign.
Hold the world — Elephant, move! The land is calling you. Move! Hold the world! We honour you.
Tiger
Roar!
Roar!
Thunder!
I race the ridges — hear me roar!
The forest knows my name.
I roar across the natural ridges
Bless your honour.
I Roar!
I cross the valley pathways with a thunder in my stride,
River‑born authority flowing at my side,
Second in the Chinese wheel, standing close to the Dragon’s reign,
Second in the Thai wheel, standing just near the Naga’s chain.
Roar!
Roar!
Thunder!
I race the ridges — hear me roar!
The forest knows my name.
I roar across the natural ridges
Bless your honour.
Thai lore remembers me in stories carried through the night,
Strength of ancient mountains shaping every measured fight,
Silver rivers shimmer when my shadow breaks the stream,
Every leap a heartbeat, every motion like a dream.
Roar!
Roar!
Thunder!
I race the ridges — hear me roar!
The forest knows my name.
I roar across the natural ridges
Bless your honour.
Monks of forest temples met my gaze without a fear,
Calm in every heartbeat, earning my trust by standing near,
Strength without aggression,
Discipline within my frame,
Fighters learn my spirit when they rise to claim the flame.
Roar!
Roar!
Thunder!
I race the ridges — hear me roar!
The forest knows my name.
I roar across the natural ridges
Bless your honour.
Roar!
Roar!
Thunder!
I Roar!

Monkey Spirit
Swift among the branches, moving with ease,
Just look at Monkey, dancing through the trees,
Sacred mischief carried with devotion,
Revered as Hanuman in every temple motion,
Festival paths where reverence aligns,
Ninth in the Chinese wheel, keeper of the agile chain,
Ninth in the Thai wheel, honoured in the festival domain.
(Temple drums calling! Temple drums calling!)
Spirit in motion, rhythm in the air,
Temple bells shimmer when Monkey is there,
Cunning in balance, master of the climb,
Forest paths echo through the ancient time.
Monkey Spirit — eternal motion,
Born from forests where the clans ascend.
Monkey Spirit — sacred devotion,
Temple‑sky dancer with a playful bend.
Monkey Spirit — eternal motion,
Honour is given when the festivals call.
Monkey Spirit — sacred devotion, Keeper of balance, master of the wall.
Monkey Spirit

Monkey Spirit
Monkey
[Verse 2 — Final Rhyming Version]
Sunlit courtyards echo ancient climbs,
Just look at Monkey, moving through the times,
Sacred presence carried where the forest flows,
Cunning steps through fading light as evening grows,
Temple paths glowing through the night,
Honoured in the stories carried through the shrine,
Keeper of balance in the forest line.
[Pre‑Chorus — Repeat]
(Temple drums calling! Temple drums calling!) Spirit in motion, rhythm in the air, Temple bells shimmer when Monkey is there, Cunning in balance, master of the climb, Forest paths echo through the ancient time.
[Chorus — Repeat]
Monkey Spirit — eternal motion, Born from forests where the clans ascend. Monkey Spirit — sacred devotion, Temple‑sky dancer with a playful bend. Monkey Spirit — eternal motion, Honour is given when the festivals call. Monkey Spirit — sacred devotion, Keeper of balance, master of the wall.
