A magical day with elephants and sanctuary team.

We booked a full day tour, and weren’t disappointed. A truly magical day with Maesa, the mahouts, chef and the stars of the day. 5 (1 poorly and in quarantine) majestic elephants, rescued from previous logging careers. These elephants are loved and cared for by the Khao Lak team. We booked a full day, which included plenty of up close time with the elephants, constant feeding, bathing ( not in the water with them) but close enough to chuck lots of water over them, prepping food, cooking a 4 course Thai meal with chef, collecting banana leaves and water melons from the local farmers, walk in the jungle with elephant, and a visit to the local waterfall. There are plenty of other elephant experiences out there but do your research. The money goes direct to the team to care for the elephants and supports the local farmers too. A brilliant day from start to finish. Plenty of photos taken by the team and shared with us (no sneaky extra charges either)
Magical interactive experience you don’t want to miss

Magical experience of being up close with these magnificent elephants. Interactive and unique - one of the best days I have ever had. Sourcing their food, coming back and then feeding them, watching them swim and learning about their diet, daily routines and being able to share this time with them is extraordinary. Topped off with cooking class, waterfall and knowledgeable tour guides (thanks Tony) means it is a day not to be missed.
