Sightseeing
This is about some of the great day trips you can do from our Homestay.
A 20 minute scooter ride takes you through Hang Dong to this lovely spot in the Obkahn Natioanl Park. You can swim in the river by the cafe, walk in either direction (up or downstream) and enjoy some great views along the way. Good for picnics and easy walking. Along the way you pass The Grand Canyon water theme park, another great day out.

Elephant sanctuary
We know this place very well and you are guaranteed a brilliant day out when you select their Half Day tour. All our guests who have visited have loved it. The only comment is about the price, (2500bt per head) but once home all have agreed it is well worth it.
