Planet Zoo - Thai Themed Indian Elephant Exhibit Speed Build

For all my viewers from Thailand, here's an Indian elephant exhibit build with a Thai theme. I'm not as much an expert of Thai architecture as I am of some Far Eastern/European styles, but I had a lot of fun trying to bend the pieces of the game to create a new, modular theme.
You can download the whole build (+ the Japanese macaques habitat and giraffe building habitat) here: steamcommunity...

As Thai audiences , I’m so exited to hear you describe what is going on with your chanal. HRK is very popular youtuber in Thailand by his talents and very good sense of humer.(i’m also proud that you mention his name) For your chanal, I really enjoy the way you create a structure of many asian architecture with your gentle voice. It’s like watching a documentary of architecture hahaha. By the way, Thank you for your attention to us :)

At first, I was very impressed by your afford of making Thai style roof by customizing piece by piece. But when all works were done and you start to decorate the area, I start to amazing how can you bring me back to Chiangmai zoo. LOL, YOU have NAILED IT!

[@TaZamzeezia]

First of all, You’ve done so well! Nothing can stop you now 😂 In classic Thai architecture, The main building of your elephant exhibition is call Kutakan (กุฎาคาร). The building with the pointed dome (steeple prangs - ยอดปรางค์ or Kherung-Yod เครื่องยอด) on the top of the roof (the element at 28:23 ). For the example, The Royal Pantheon in the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in the Grand Palace.

I've been watch your planet zoo series for a while and i really impressed by your creativity and respect for culture and animals thanks for doing Thai.

[@sneedler4661]

The C’s in Cincinnati are soft C’s so they make an S like sound. Love the amazing work you do in both Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo, it’s very inspiring to an architecture buff like me.

[@Bethgael]

Easy way to remember for Silv: when c is by itself in English, if before an e, i or y, it always says "s". :)

[@Silvarret]

Out of all the for me foreign language words I use in this video, it's Cincinnati that I mispronounce. Nice.

[@Bethgael]

@@Silvarret I like your way better. Very Italian. :D (especially since it ends in an Italian i--which English words should not, in general. Like "spaghetti").

[@Geekism]

@@Bethgael 'Easy way to remember for Silv: when c is by itself in English, if before an e, i or y, it always says "s". :)' My *Synced Celtic Sceptical Soccer* playing friend would beg to differ :)

[@Bethgael]

@@Geekism Indeed. [Except Americans say Seltics]. Buuut: Those exceptions show the root of each word--and often the roots aren't exceptions, they've become modern parlance post-rule.. Sync is actually not an exception, because it's an abbreviation of "Syncopation/synchopation" (and, indeed, in Australia we'd spell it "synched" not "synced"--the "ch" k shows its Greek roots, like "school" and is therefore not a "c having a sound by itself"). Soccer, likewise, is actually an abbreviation for As[soc]iation Football (and in the UK how dare you call it Soccer!) ;) Celtic is actually a Greek rooted word and really should be spelled with a K because we stole it from "Keltoi" (Latinised Greek)--but in Irish, see the C IS said a a K before those vowels (ie, the word is not an "English' word). eg: The name we see spelled "Ciara" is actually pronunced "Keera" in Modern Irish. Irish is, of course, not English, and the word came to us via Irish, via Latin, via Greek. Non-English words don't have to follow English rules. :) Skeptical used to be spelled with a k (and still is in the USA). I still insist on doing so, because whenever I see someone saying that they're "sceptical" about something I have trouble resisting the urge to tell them to just get out of the poo tank, for pity's sake. ;) Even if not, that's, what, 4 alleged exceptions? The g/j sound is worse, frankly, since it only follows the i,e,y rule /sometimes/, even as an English rule. :D [Edited for typoes]

I'm always like your style of building and really glad you made this Thai style architect. You have done an amazing job as always, love it!! keep up the good work

[@marinary1326]

I find something really sweet in the fact that when presented with a new viewer demographic, you're like, "Welcome, love your architecture, watch me recreate it with as many pieces as possible"! When you actually get around to building a full zoo, or even something comparable in size to say Jägerhorn, maybe pick a theme that will let you just use in game roofs :P

[@Dwaftman]

I'm not an architecture and I'm not sure my search is correct but I did try some google. What you've said about Chor-Fah is right but only the most top part. There are also Haang-Hong (Swan Tail) at both ends of the isosceles which is similar to Chor-Fah but they call in a different name. The wooden piece that connect Chor-Fah and Haang Hong is called Bai-Ra-Ga. And what you've ask about the round spire, this is from my understanding (Thai architecture, if you're here correct me if I'm wrong) if the spire isa big dedicate one, They will call Chay-Dee (Pagoda) which is a round one or another similar to what you've build with some small corner overlap each other is Phra-Prang or Prang.

[@katlyndewitte106]

An excellent build. Your detail - especially the bit about bothering to make sure no one would walk into pillars - remains greatly astonishing video after video. I love your focus on Thai theme to acknowledge your audience, as well as your clarity regarding it. Feel free to take your time in creating a zoo, I think I can speak for a great deal of your audience when I say that these individual exhibits are brilliant all by themselves, and seem to allow you to explore the game without the contraints of having to remain within a single zoo's overarching theme. Great work.

[@elfaroncarnot]

I had a hunch that you would make this. And you did, with a magnificent result! The silhouette and the colour are spot-on. Great work on research as always. I really appreciate it. The spire you were building around 28:55 is called 'Prang' (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prang_(architecture)). It can be a whole structure like a pagoda, or be on top of the roof of a structure as well.

[@jaxrobinson3890]

As others have mentioned, It's pronounced "Sin-Sin-atti", but you're right. Our zoo's elephant enclosure is one of the better and more immersive elephant habitats anywhere. That said, this one is beautiful, and I would love to visit. Great work, Silv!

[@AllyCarts]

I’m not thai but I live in Thailand , this looks absolutely amazing, just one interesting fact that you might have missed through research is that traditional Thai architecture typically has slanting walls or in this case pillars. They usually slant slightly onwards towards the top

[@fuyahanabi1304]

Been here since your collab with Keralis on Planet Coaster. As a Thai, when HRK started his new Planet Coaster I immediately thought of your series and was thinking it would be cool if the Thai community somehow discovers your channel then... this happened! Everything has been going really nicely for all these communities that I've never thought they would coexist in the same line. Life is interesting.

[@W_L2P2]

I am Thai. It's very nice. Thank you for your creativity 🇹🇭

[@Cap1981]

Here is a little idea I'm working for a new habitat for the Taiwan bear. I use stage ricery witch a typical of vietnam but also much common in taiwan to make natural separation between habitat (has I said before, I try to make multiple habitat for the same animal for breeding). The ricery is topped by a Tainan inspired Temple for viewer with a big terasse and the staff building (also Tainan inspired but smaller) is at the crossing of the 3 habitat. Staircaise is build nicely to permit staff to acces the base ground of the ricery witch is provided by a forest on the side. Under the temple you have a big cave for the animal witch can be acces by the viewer temple. Don't know how to provide the picture but anyway, I though it would be an original habitat for you to work on. You'll see that ricery has to be quite deep to set water inside it. The trick is to fill it just under the water with the plant ground (paillaige in french). use smaller plant to play the role of rice. What is interresting is that these plant will make natural separation between habitat ;) Have fun !

[@wayukeawmanee840]

A round spiral shape on the top of the roof in thai architecture is called "Yord Chartra" (ยอด ฉัตร) I don't know what is a specific name of it in English so if you want to see a reference i recommend you to search it with thai word.

[@pokemonparty101]

Yay!! Indian Elephants/Asian Elephants in general are my favourite animals! Everyone kind of defaults to the African Elephants in their zoos. I don't think I've seen a single Indian Elephant exhibit yet? It's gorgeous! Also I agree about the waterfalls being very oversaturated in youtuber exhibits lol. But here I think it really fits? Large exhibits like this kind of lend themselves to having waterfalls way more than an exhibit for say Bison or Pronghorn which live in super flat lands. It just kinda makes sense here!

I'm looking forward to you creating a whole zoo series. You could do regionally themed habitat architecture for each animal, or go for a unique but uniform architectural style that ties the whole zoo together. It will be fun to see how to incorporate the transport rides with your habitats. Doing a whole zoo would also give you the change to do central viewing pavilions with multiple habitats that revolve around it like pie wedges (many zoos do this). I'm also really curious to see if the game mechanics will allow for climbing animals to travel between habitats over the paths like the orangutans in the National Zoo in Washington D.C.

Hi! I'm Thai this is so amazing it's so beautiful thx for Thai zoo :)

[@eyoungwah]

I’m Thai. I’ve never watched thai gamers played planet zoo and built like this!! U ARE THE BEST

[@dc9spots]

The top spire on the roof is called "เครื่องยอด" (kreung-yod). Basically translated to "top ornament" . It usually a part of the important building such as the on that carried buddha statue or the one inside Royal palace. There is one specific type of เครื่องยอด that usually associated with the royal family! There was one beautiful small pavillion at Lausanne which is the place where his majesty late king RamaIX live as a child. That angled top spire style was Royal palace style. The rounded one you use is the style inspire from another type of architecture called "เจดีย์" (Che-di) (simply a Pagoda). More specifically เจดีย์ทรงระฆัง (bell shaped pagoda). Anyway, very nice habitat here! As a traditional Thai architecture student and a thais myself I'm really impressed with your build! Thai traditional building is really hard to create even in the proper 3d modeling program (that slightly curved roof and heavily detailed ornament was nightmare). So I think what you have accomplish in the game with very limited piece is truly amazing! Keep up the good work!

[@dc9spots]

If you want more reference pic from different type of thai architecture or just interested, I recomended this site www.thai-architecture.com/wwproj.html It was the collection of the work of dr.Pinyo, one of famous treditional thai architecture. The site was nicely translated in English and have a decent detailed image of some ornamented feature of Thai architectural work. Catagirized nicely in different building type too!

[@Silvarret]

Thanks for the info! Judging from the significant cultural meaning of the rounded spire, it was a bit a culturally insensitive to add it to a zoo decoration of all things. But it's a beautiful building element, sometimes I think that's what counts. Thanks for the link, will have to save that in case I ever revisit the theme :)

[@dc9spots]

@@Silvarret Yeah...it can be considered as insensitive (many Thai resort that use architectural element from Thai temple face some kind of controversial too.) But I think most of us don't mind much. You didn't disrespect the architecture, and did a decent amout of reserch. I think most of us were glad that there was a foreigner interested in our culture ;)
