Riding elephants and rafting in a nature reserve in the Umphang National Park is a very pleasant experience and a favorite visit of many tourists who want to be close to nature. Many activities in the midst of greenery are possible such as trekking in a stunning environment and the long journey of an elephant in the forest is a kind of adventure as is the descent of a river on a bamboo raft.

Scuba diving in the deep waters of Turtle Island, located in the Gulf of Siam, in the north of Samui Island is another option for scuba divers who want to enjoy the beautiful seabed with colorful fish and corals.
