Frolicking in the sand this baby elephant is clearly giving the sun-seeking tourists a run for their money as she plays on the beach of a Thai island paradise.

Amused holidaymakers caught the Asian elephant calf pulling poses worthy of a swimwear model - only without her trunks - as she dried off in the sunshine after taking a dip in the Indian Ocean.

The young elephant, named Lucky, had been enjoying a bath in the warm waters when she was captured on camera by British tourist John Lindie, from Glasgow.
