Every day after lunch, ThaiKoon and her two friends, Tilly and Khampuan, will walk to bathe in the river.

A swim is the same to an elephant, rain or shine. A gentle rain seems to brings a calmness upon them, and they gently wile away an hour in peaceful chatter. They are very happy to be together at Elephant Nature Park.

But it’s not all about lazing about & chilling out !

Conversely, Chana’s herd show us how they like to enjoy their time in the water.
