Elephants Bathing Place
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Elephants in the orphanage are brought here to shower. All the elephants are given a bath once a day, so make sure to check the time with the ticket counter. You also can enjoy the scene while eating something as there are places you can grab a snack in the area.

👍👍 This is the best place to view elephants up close
They walk the elephants down to the river so they can roam around and play in the water
