Bathing big animals can feel like a huge task, but a baby elephant in Thailand is changing that perception with its adorable behavior. In a heartwarming video, the little elephant’s playful antics during bath time at the Royal Elephant Kraal and Village have captured the hearts of people all around the globe.
Fondly dubbed as “Double Trouble” by visitor Claus Jorgensen from Denmark, the elephant in the video can be seen enthusiastically making its way towards a bath. In a humorous turn of events, it trips over the edge and tumbles into the water headfirst, with its legs flapping around in the air.
Despite its clumsy start, the baby elephant quickly recovers and starts splashing around happily in the water.
The laughter never ends as Double Trouble, full of energy, rushes out of the water and tries to grab the hose from the man showering it. Onlookers chuckle as the mischievous calf runs back into the bath, slips in, and continues playing in the water. In the video, you can see the pure joy on the elephant’s face as it jumps out of the water once more, successfully taking the hose from a woman and a young girl who were spraying it.
With a triumphant expression, the elephant joyfully dashes away with the hose delicately held in its trunk, causing laughter among the spectators.
Located in Ayutthaya, the Royal Elephant Kraal & Village is a charitable institution committed to breeding, nurturing, and providing support for both retired and wild elephants.
One of their well-loved initiatives is the Elephantstay program, which gives guests the opportunity to engage with elephants firsthand, learning how to feed, bathe, and connect with these majestic creatures with the help of knowledgeable guides.
Ever since the program started back in 2000, more than 60 baby elephants have been welcomed into the world, with the most recent addition being born in December 2014. A delightful video of Double Trouble taking a bath captures the fun-loving spirit of young elephants and underlines the significant work being done by the Royal Elephant Kraal to protect and look after these majestic animals.
