Even one can witness the sound of little creatures like frogs. Please remember that these areas are National Park. If you do take any plastic water bottles or snacks in plastic wrappers, please take the empty wrappers and bottles with you when you leave. ELEPHANT RIDE Take a ride through the Krabi jungle on an elephant. The gentle rock of the elephants walk is very soothing and the almost silent movement means you get that much closer to the wildlife. After the ride you can take some time to feed the elephants a few tasty morcels, they are very well cared for elephants and well accustomed to the presence of people. Then perhaps even watch them having a bath. The experience of just getting this close to an elephant is going to be one of your most memorable Krabi activities and kids will remember the experience for life. The elephants were actually here a long time before tourists arrived. In fact Krabi owes its very existence to elephants. The first mentions of Krabi in the history books were as an outpost for the purpose of rounding up wild elephants and domesticating them for forestry work, building, lifting and exploration. So, next time you see an elephant, remember that you are looking at one of the real natives of Krabi. No upgrade possible for this tour.
