An Unexpected Star at the Car Wash
In a twist no one saw coming, a car care centre in Chon Buri’s Si Racha district has become an online sensation: not for polishing sedans, but for pampering a pachyderm.
It all started when TikTok user @/palm_dragon_ shared a video of an elephant getting the ultimate wash experience on March 20. The video quickly racked up 262K+ likes, sparking curiosity and plenty of chuckles across social media.
A follow-up video showed the real magic: the elephant swaying its trunk happily as staff members gave it a full-on water spray treatment.
Instead of buffing and waxing cars, staff were seen joyfully scrubbing and spraying their newest (and largest) client, capturing the hearts of viewers far and wide.
Viewer Responses
The internet did what it does best: turning the sight into comedy gold.
“Who knew you could get a 100-horsepower elephant pressure wash?” joked one user, while another teased, “Does this model use bananas or sugarcane? 😂”
Others played along with the car care theme, suggesting that after the bath, the elephant should have its “tires” painted black — just like a freshly serviced car.
The comments section overflowed with puns, elephant jokes, and playful praise for the car wash’s creativity.
From Car Wax to Trunk Scrubs
While it’s unclear whether elephant baths will become a permanent service, the heartwarming video has already turned the car wash into a local legend.
Many praised the centre not just for its creativity, but also for the joy it brought to an otherwise ordinary day. In a world full of gloomy headlines, the sight of a gleeful elephant getting the five-star spa treatment was exactly the kind of feel-good moment people were craving.
A Viral Delight
The success of the video highlights just how much people appreciate a bit of light-hearted fun, especially when it involves something as endearing as a happy elephant swinging its trunk under the sun.
In Chon Buri’s Si Racha district, at least for a moment, cars had to take a backseat — because this elephant was clearly driving the internet wild.
