You can find a fascinating elephant camp located just 3km s from Hua Hin. The elephant you ride will have a wooden seat attached with tight ropes to its back and you would be sitting there. The trainer or the guide will be sitting in front of you on the elephant and will be guiding it along. You can spend a day of admiring these gentle giants by feeding them bananas and watching them take a bath in the river.
