Lae Chang Cafe is inside Hua Hin Elephant Village, behind Wat Itisukato. It is a place to stop for a drink while visiting the village, with views towards the elephants. Local coverage describes coffee, smoothies and other drinks, plus off-road parking. Elephant activities are run by the surrounding village and should be checked separately for availability and charges.
