Phang Nga (Thai: พังงา) is one of the southern provinces of Thailand, on the shore of the Andaman Sea to the west and Phuket Province to the south. Phang Nga is one of the most popular tourist destinations of Thailand, you can ride an elephant to explore the forest here.
Although Phang Nga is a popular tourist attraction, the site for elephant rides is so crude, the ground is wet and muddy.
The elephant’s back is very high and the seat is not comfortable, but at least it has a seatbelt.
Although the forest is very big, the tour has a fixed route, so you won’t get lost.
The total forest area of Phang Nga is around 1,778 square kilometers or 32.4 percent of the provincial area.
The guide says the wild elephant can live over 90 years, while the average longevity of the elephants working here is shorter, only 70 years old.
After the tour, Choumeizai buys some fruits for the elephants, but still feels bad.
