For holidaymakers looking to get back to nature, Baan Khok Chang Elephant Sanctuary in Prachuap Khiri Khan offers something truly worth a three hour s drive from Bangkok.
The sanctuary is an initiative of Monsoon Valley, a homegrown vineyard enveloped by forested hills 50km from the coastal town of Hua Hin.

An elephant found shot 43 times in the face, legs and body in Thailand has died after a month in critical care - as tragic video captured the moment it lost its battle for life (pictured)
The elephant was discovered badly wounded in woodland on December 10 and taken to a nearby wildlife sanctuary, where it lost its battle for life on January 10
The bull elephant had been shot twice under the eyes, three times on the front leg, twice on the ribs, and 38 times across its face and body when it was found.
Despite being critically-injured with bullet shell casings still inside its body, the frightened elephant resisted rescuers and had to be sedated before being transferred to the nearby Kui Buri National Park.
