Reviewed By SnowFairy2014
Visited Phraya Nakhon Cave, Laem Sala Beach, Khao Daeng Canal, Thung Sam Roi Yot Freshwater Marsh and Bueng Bua Boardwalk. At the canal, you can get a boat ride for 500 baht (6 persons pax). The marsh and boardwalk is located together, but take note the boardwalk is not completely repaired yet but it has been opened now as part of it has been restored. Nice place to visit as there are huts along which provide good shade and to rest. For reviews on Phraya Nakhon Cave and Laem Sala Beach, go to its individual attraction name at tripadvisor. More details can be found there.

We took a local taxi here. Entry is free. The boardwalk around the mangroves is wonderful. There are a lot of information points, but only a few in English. Half way round you can take a boat trip for a fixed price for the boat. The boat trip took us through the mangroves, we saw birds, lizards, egrets, and butterflies. From the swamps we entered he river and went through the fishing village, through the boats, then back through the mangroves to the jetty. A bit more walking on the boardwalk and back to our taxi. Well worth a visit. Allow about 2 hours.

As from 1st October 2017 we are proud to announce that trekking will no longer be offered at Hutsadin, instead we offer our visitors a range of activities that promote a close interaction with our elephants. In a safe environment for both elephant and visitor. Here you can take a bareback ride, walk with an elephant, shower and feed them or simply visit us. We also offer educational talks 3 days a week and a 3 hour mahout experience is available twice a week. Check out our website activities page where you will find full descriptions of the activities that we offer along with costs.

We chose to visit the elephant foundation based on good reviews on trip advisor and we were not disappointed. The sanctuary has 6 elephants all with sad but interesting stories of how they came to be in the sanctuary. It is obvious all the elephants are well loved and cared for by their mahouts and the volunteers at the centre. We chose to do the elephant walk where you go on a walk with one of the elephants and their mahout and also the volunteer who tells you the individual elephant’s story, about their personality and you have a basket of fruit to feed your elephant as you walk alongside it. You then get to shower the elephant on return from the walk. It was up close and personal and extremely interesting. On a previous visit to Thailand we did an elephant basket ride but they do not offer this at the foundation due to the discomfort and stress it can cause the elephant and which I wouldn’t ever do again based on the experience with the elephants and information we received on our visit. You can do a bareback ride on the elephant at Hutsadin but we chose not to and instead loved our elephant walking experience.

Must do if you are around Hua Hin, we took the boat from the beach (saves you a difficult hill crossing) took the boat tour, first to the canal and see some colorfull fishing boats, then to monkey island, then to the beach for the hike to the cave. Hike is challenging, but everyone can do on his own tempo. View in the cave is stunning. try to sit down on a quiet spot on the hike and wait for the monkeys to appear.

Reviewed By poolins - Bangkok, Thailand
Unfortunately, the timing was bad for me, and access to Khao Lommuak was closed off by the Air Force, that controls the area of Wing 5. The climb up to the top is accessible only on public holidays, and the next one, I was told, isn’t apparently until May. However, the start-off point is about 2 kms from Prachuap town, and I took a tuktuk there, for a very reasonable 100 baht, return. You can also bike in from town, on the road that runs along to Ao Manao Bay. The day turned out wonderful, however, in spite of the closure of the path up. I was very spoilt when we visited, as the langurs were out in full display. There are 3 different troops in that one area alone, and they are well protected and coddled. You are allowed to feed them-it is not a national park, as they come down from the jungle of Khao Lommuak, to forage for food. There is a stand by the foot of the hill where you can buy boiled corn for 10 baht. These langurs have a weakness for corn and peanuts, and do not like bananas as much. The spectacles langurs are well worth a visit, just for themselves, and you can see them close up with their golden babies. Definitely recommended if, like me, seeing the langurs was high priority.

Clear, cool(er) water. I would have liked to have stayed at the beach much longer, but I was exhausted from the trek to the cave. It has the nicest beach water of all the beaches I have visited on the gulf.
