This is the spectacular moment a herd of elephants cooled off in a lake in Nakhon Nayok, central Thailand.<br /><br />Drone footage from last Sunday (April 26) shows locals and national park staff watching by the group of jumbos as they paddle through the water.<br /><br />The region's wildlife chief Narin Pinsakul said they have seen the same herd the previous week, but the number of elephants included has steadily increased.<br /><br />He said: "We were all amazed and surprised by the scene as we had seen it several days earlier and the herd was about half as big as this.<br /><br />"However, the bigger herd could mean more elephants will raid the people's fruit groves so we will have to watch out for them closely."
