Anyone who has ever tried to bathe an animal , especially a big one , will probably tell you that it can be a real struggle . But this little elephant in Thailand proves that it ’ s not always as hard as you would think . In fact , it ’ s actually quite fun . Captured on video by a visiting tourist who dubbed the elephant Double Trouble , the excitable animal is filmed diving straight towards the bath , snagging its leg on the side of it , tripping up and falling straight into the water . After balancing on its head for a while looking as if it is struggling , the elephant manages to turn itself back onto its side and begins splashing about - seemingly unbothered by its less-than-graceful entry into the water . Returning to its feet , the elephant heads towards the man bathing it , who is believed to be Claus Jorgensen , the Danish tourist who later uploaded the footage from the Royal Elephant Kraal and Village , in Thailand . But the excitement is n't over for the young elephant . It proceeds to jumping back out of the bath and attempt to steal the hose , causing the surrounding visitors to laugh hysterically . The excited elephant charges straight towards the bath and snags its leg off of it on the way in causing it to fall over . The calf slip-slided its way in eventually as grown elephants stood in the back watching . Head over heels ! The elephant looks like it is about to drown before it turns itself onto its side and begins splashing . The video concludes with Double Trouble jumping back into the bath even more enthusiastically , before a woman and little girl spray it with a hose . After an enjoyable roll around in the water , apparently delighting in its added shower , the elephant grabs the hose from the girl and her mother and runs away with it in its trunk . Royal Elephant Kraal & Village in Ayutthaya is a non-profit organisation that breeds elephants , cares for retired elephants and looks after all the ones in between . The little guy just could n't get enough of the spray . After rolling about in the water , the elephant jumps up and attempts to steal the hose from the man . Their popular Elephantstay programme allows visitors to care for the animals and guides are on hand to instruct on the best ways to feed , wash and interact with them . Since the year 2000 The Royal Elephant Kraal ’ s breeding programme has resulted in over 60 births . The latest recorded birth on their website was in December 2014 , when an elephant named Oijai gave birth to a boy named Plai Kotchasuwan . The video concludes with a woman and little girl spraying the elephant before it runs after with their hose .
