Yes, please. Please take it to the changing room over there.
Gesture & etiquette
Point towards the specific spot (e.g., a small bucket, a drain, or a corner of the washing area) while asking.
Do not wring out your towel directly into the main bath water. Use designated basins or wring it out gently away from others. Avoid bringing a dripping wet towel into the changing room.
