Being able to see elephants at such a close range was a truly new experience!! Elephants have really clear and deep eyes, which made me realize that they really are animals with pretty eyes. Kei, who took pictures here and there and gave explanations, was really cheerful and fun! We were the only Koreans, so everyone wore bikinis to bathe the elephants, but we were the only ones wearing rash guards and washing them. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ We were told to bring a change of clothes, so we packed everything, but while all the foreigners packed lightly... we were the only ones with a lot of luggage. I don't think it's necessary to bring that much. Just bring a towel and a swimsuit that dries quickly. It will be a good memory.
