A car care centre in Chon Buri has captured the attention of social media users with a playful new offering—elephant baths. What began as a promotional stunt has quickly turned into a viral sensation, with a video of an elephant joyfully receiving a bath circulating widely online.
The viral moment started with a photo shared on Facebook by Chakkrit Chamnongplee on March 20, which rapidly gained popularity. The post received over 14,000 likes, 389 comments, and 11,000 shares. A follow-up video, featuring the elephant delightfully swinging its trunk while staff sprayed it with water, has garnered 1,200 likes, 66 comments, and 395 shares as of the latest count.
The lighthearted footage, captured at a car care centre located in Bo Win subdistrict, Si Racha district, has brought joy to netizens. Many shared humorous comments about the unexpected turn of the business, with some suggesting the business should add a “glossy coating” for the elephant. One user joked, “Who knew you could get a 100-horsepower elephant pressure wash?”
This charming moment highlights how a simple idea can captivate the public and bring smiles to thousands, with some even imagining new business opportunities for the centre.
In addition to the viral content, the car care centre’s staff have received praise for their creative marketing and their ability to bring laughter to online audiences.
