Culture and Discovery in Thailand

Head out to the superb islands of Tarutao National Marine Park in southern Thailand! If you're an adventurous traveler looking for peace and solitude, you simply must pay a visit to the wild island of Ko Tarutao, with its long, deserted beaches and its hiking trails, before heading off to take things easy in the crystal clear waters of Koh Lipe. 

Elephant rides have become a major concern in many locations, but are still offered by a handful of so-called "sanctuaries" with the proposition to get close to the exotic and majestic animal. Elephant rides are offered on every street corner and Westerners have little knowledge about the cruel methods to succeed in training these enormous animals.
