Hutsadin Elephant Foundation offers the visitor a variety of attractions. At present we have 3 elephants available for trekking. Each trek can be half an hour or an hour and you will be taken through the surrounding areas. After your trek you will be able to watch a small show by our youngest elephant, or if you would prefer you are welcome to wash her instead and there will be plenty of opportunities for some amazing photos. After this you may want to visit our retired elephants.If you prefer a more hands approach, you may want to try our 'mahout experience' where you can help to take care of our retired elephants for the morning, in this time you will get to prepare food, give medication, clean their shelters, take one for a walk and then give her a wash (please e mail for details as only available on certain days).If you just want to have a look around the foundation and chat to some of the English speaking volunteers you are more than welcome and there is no charge.All of our elephants have been rescued and all have their own story, there is an information board near the seating area where you can learn more about each individual elephant.A final word to clarify the situation :- you may be asked for a tip or to buy trinkets from the mahouts - this is entirely up to you and is not supported by the foundation. Any money that you give to the mahouts does not go into the foundation funds and is not used to buy food etc (no matter what you may be told). Should you wish to make a donation please put it into the box in the front office or give to one of the volunteers.We hope that you enjoy your visit and find it a memorable experience.Please post your comments on tripadvisor for the benefit of others.

"The temple area is beautiful with lakes and places to relax. The locals come here to pray early in the morning, before sunset. The tourist usually arrive much later."
"We visited here in June. Quite an experience. Loved the elephant ride and although the landscape wasn't the best we did get to see a lot of wildlife and we got to feed the elephants on our return. Baby elephant does a bit of a show, which was a bit touristy but we were assured that she liked to ..."do the tricks. It was very quiet when we were there which made it more personal. Joanna offered plenty of advice and was extremely knowledgable and made us feel very welcome. All the elephants are very well cared for & that really shows. A great morning out & easily accessible by taxi from Hua Hin. Our taxi driver was more than happy to wait for us until we were ready to return to town.

"This beach is long and never crowded and you can always find a quiet spot to sit and take in the views.
No water sport activities, but then it would spoil this lovely natural beach which is only a few minutes drive south of Hua Hin town.
We found it to be always clean when we go there and the bea..."ch shelves gently which makes it ideal for children to wade about among the waves.
If you want to get away from the crowds on Hua Hin beach give this one a try, you will love the peace and quiet.
