Highlights
What makes this tour special is the partnership with the mahout family behind Elephant Sanctuary in Khao Lak — a Surin family who have cared for elephants for generations as a way of life, not a business. Their elephants are lifelong companions, never bought, sold, or bred to grow the herd. Your day also includes Ton Pling Waterfall, bamboo rafting through the jungle, and Khao Lak's first sea turtle sanctuary, finished with lunch at a Michelin Guide–recognized restaurant (7 years running).

About Khao Lak
Khao Lak is a long strip of sandy Andaman coast north of Phuket, with rainforest hills behind, waterfalls and boats to the Similan Islands.
Khao Lak runs for some twenty kilometres along the Andaman Sea in Phang Nga province, about eighty kilometres north of Phuket. Wide beaches such as Khuk Khak, Nang Thong and Bang Niang are backed by rubber and palm plantations and hills covered in rainforest. Khao Lak–Lam Ru National Park protects the forest and waterfalls behind the coast. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami struck this shore, and memorials stand along it.
