4.0Paradise Park Farm(670 reviews) - Great views, although Dated Park. Nature & Wildlife Areas
We enjoyed our trip, Although it did seem stuck in a dated time warp . So many toddler seats and rusty ride on toys. I didn't like seeing parrots with chains on. Perhaps it was for customer safety. Certainly didn't enjoy seeing white pigeons dyed fancy colours with tail feathers sticking up. Though the birds looked happy enough. It had an infinity pool that we used too. That was enjoyable. Lots of fantastic view points too. See more..

They put on a great show and have a nice display of snakes that have been rescued from human habitation (homes).

Highly recommend the Cobra Show to everyone visiting Koh Samui.See more..

4.0Pakarang Cave (Coral Cave)(29 reviews) - Not simple to get to but worth the journey Spent < 1 hour National Parks • Nature & Wildlife Areas • Caverns & Caves
I think the only way to get to the cave is part of an excursion to Cheow Lan lake. It's a fabulous day trip and the cave is part of the day. We went from Khao Sok, the drive is about an hour then we took a long boat across the lake past the Rajjaprapha dam. The area was flooded in 1987 to form a 165 km2 lake. The lake is stunning, likened to Halong Bay, Vietnam. After lunch and swim at one of the floating settlements we went to shore to walk around an hour through the jungle to take a bamboo raft over to the cave. The track is up and down and there's a bit if climbing, its not suitable for everyone so best to check it's ok if you're not sure. The cave isn't huge but interesting. I did worry that although we're asked not to touch any of the stalactites and stalagmites, there's no barrier to stop you. You return the same way which is all part of a fabulous day excursion.See more..
5.0Win Elephant Tour Khao Sok(1 review) - Superbe ferme à éléphant Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM Nature & Wildlife Areas Il s'agit d'une petite ferme familiale, qui fait de l'agriculture le matin et s'occupe de leurs éléphants l’après midi, surement pour arrondir leurs fin de mois ils propose des activités parfois le matin avec quelques éléphants.
nous avons personnellement fais un petit tour a dos d’éléphant (nous étions sur son dos et il se baladais tous seul ou il voulais, s’arrêtait pour manger, jouais avec des branche) et quand son maître était un peu trop loin il revenais vers lui. ici pas de maltraitance ou de mauvais coups du propriétaire bien au contraire la relation est plutôt fusionnel voir drôle quand il se chamaille ou se câline.
après la balade on débarrasse l’éléphant de sa selle et on va se baigner avec lui, le propriétaire nous montres les petit soins a lui apporter et cherche les éventuelles blessures ou soins a lui apporter, l’éléphant semble vraiment apprécier et n'est aucunement obligé de faire quoi que ce soit. quand il en a eu marre il s'est simplement relevé et a pris son propriétaire sur son dos d'un coups de trompe!
nous avons également pu lui donner a manger. bref un moment très agréable. pour vous dire l’établissement n'existait même pas sur trip advisor je l'ai rajouter on est loin du gros business touristiqueSee more..
