  • 5Such a beautiful...

    Such a beautiful experience! We did tons of research before ultimately deciding to spend our time at the Khaolak Ethical Elephant Sanctuary (KES). This sanctuary offers a 100% observation-focused experience with no riding, no shows, no tricks, and no guest feeding or forced bathing. We had to wash our hands thoroughly before making the snacks for the elephants and we were not allowed to feed them ourselves. Only the handlers could directly give the elephants the snacks! The elephants had lots of room to roam around and graze freely on the plants around. Seeing these beautiful animals brought tears to my eyes, and we still felt like we got super close to them! 10/10 experience!

    Very relaxed tour, lots of opportunity to see the elephants close up in natural surroundings. They are well cared for & although the stories behind their arrival are sad, it is great to know that their retirement is a peaceful one. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable wow good level of English & was able to answer all our questions. Would highly recommend visiting this sanctuary as opposed to the more staged photo opportunity experiences on offer.

  • 5Definently worth a visit

    Great experience - our guide was very knowledgable about the elephants in the sanctuary and elephants in general. The tour was great - both the elephant part and seeing the beautiful waterfall. Pick up booked through elephant sanctuary website went flawlessly and the driver was very good.

  • 5The highlight of my Khao Lak visit!

    I LOVED visiting the Khao Lak Ethical Elephant Sanctuary. There were five elephants roaming quite freely without chains or being fenced in. Each had their own dedicated caretaker. The elephants were clearly very well cared for and seemed relaxed and comfortable in their environment. Our guide, Wyn, was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable, and took such great care of me throughout the two-hour visit. You could really feel how much respect and love the staff have for the elephants. One of the highlights was being able to feed the elephants bananas and have them come right up close to interact with us. It felt very natural and respectful rather than forced or performative. I would highly recommend choosing the two-hour tour if you can. In addition to the experiences included in the one-hour visit, we also went down to the river where we watched one of the elephants swimming, eating and lounging peacefully in the water. It was incredibly calming and quite surreal to witness such natural behaviour without obvious human interference. A very memorable and special experience that I would highly, highly recommend.

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.
