A well guided tour where you get to interact with the elephants in a way that is respectful of the elephants but fun and educational.

We had an amazing time meeting these fantastic animals. The elephants are very well cared for. Our guide was friendly and funny. We fed the elephants, walked alongside them, made vitamin balls, watched them bathe and showered them. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone and wouldn’t hesitate to visit again on our next trip to Khao Lak.

They were very professional, ethical and friendly. The elephants seemed happy and well cared for. They arranged a private driver for us. We loved it and definitely would go again.

Great couple of hours at the elephant sanctuary. It’s strictly no touching the elephants, just watching and following them in their natural habitat, which makes the experience feel very ethical and respectful. The staff were really lovely and friendly, and made the visit even more enjoyable.

The best two hours of any excursion in Thailand without doubt. Just a magical experience with a wonderful guide and extra special activities to partake in. To be able to hose an elephant down after they have had a swim and feed them is so special. You could see the elephant smile with the experience. Just perfection !!!

Well organised with pleasant staff. Elephants were obviously well cared for and the information about each of them was interesting. Enjoyed the feeding and interaction. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Open App My location Khao Lak Ethical Elephant Sanctuary 77 ซอย น้ําตกสายรุ้ง Khuekkhak, Takua Pa District, Phang Nga 82220 Point of interest Nadine R. 538 points 23 hours ago We were here this morning and absolutely delighted with our stay there. We had booked the 2h tour. Picking up by taxi has already worked excellently and on time. There were only two of us in our tour. The extensive complex looks very well maintained, the elephants are in separate gates for feeding, so that they do not get stressed among themselves. However, you can always leave this area to the rear and move freely in nature. None of the animals were tethered or had ropes or chains! The respective Mahouts acted without plugs, but only by voice! After feeding, we walked short distances through nature on the grounds accompanied by an elephant. A tour led to a small river where the elephant went into the water quite relaxed and of its own will. We had the feeling at all times that none of the elephants were forced to do anything, everyone seemed very relaxed. We were able to observe extensively and were allowed to stroke briefly at appropriate moments. Even if we don’t speak extensive English ourselves, we could still understand the stories of our guide well. It was a beautiful and unforgettable experience and it is recommended for anyone who values animal welfare! The ladies there, who have had a difficult working life so far, can come to rest there and live a relaxed life. And we tourists are desperately needed to secure the care of these great animals who did not have a good life before. THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT EXPERIENCE!
