taking a bath in Nam Song River

When we came back from a bicycle ride we saw a whole community taking a daily (or was it a weekly?) bath in the Nam Song river.
I think this is village life, the people over here don't have any showers or washbassins at their home.
There nothing wrong taking a bath in the river.
