Don't think so, this is a new place, closer to Pranburi than Hua Hin.

Don't the signs say Elephant Safari as opposed to Hua Hin Safari (or do they say Hua Hin Elephant Safari :? )? Whatever they say, I've been wondering abour it as well.

No mentions of elephants, just new Blue and Orange signs saying "Hua Hin Safari" every few clicks on the way to Pranburi. Didn't have time to stop and look.

My old brain must have gone into auto suggestion mode. I go that way fairly often. If nobody else has come back with something in the meantime, I'll check it out next time I'm down that way.

Hi could be wrong, but I have a feeling it's the same operation that was set up between Baan Thair Resort and Takiap beach when we were living there. If that's the case, then only expect a short elephant ride.

I took a drive down there this morning on the way back from Pranburi. It was quite a way from the main road, but the scenery was very pleasant. Pot holes in the road had been recently repaired to Thai standards, so it was quite a smooth ride - until the next shower. When we got there, it was all very clean & tidy; and some guy was trying to get me to park the car and enter the attraction - I had no intention of doing that, so a swift manouvre and I was out of there.

There were a couple of busses in the car park and maybe half a dozen mini buses. Also a collection of private cars and taxis - I guess the place is on somebody's holiday map.

All that we could see on the way there were elephants, but I guess there must be more to it than that to justify the safari/adventure park title. There were a couple of safari mini busses running around, but no idea what they were doing.

From what I saw, I would guess its an expensive day out. It'll be interesting to hear from somebody who isn't too tight tight to pay the admission fee :oops: .

I drove up last weekend, its close to Greenfields Fishing Lodge.

They have elephant rides (think its about 1000 baht per go), elephant show, cobra show, crocodile show, ATV bikes.

I didn't bother going in for anything.
