Elephant Sanctuary Khao lak for Beginners - We went to the Elephant Sanctuary on our own in the course of our stay in the neighboring hotel. Admission is free, but you can buy feeding baskets for 300 or 500 Baht. It's really fun to get so close to the animals and feed them. You can also see how lovingly the caretakers treat the animals. Donations also benefit the animals. All around a successful excursion, which you can also organize on your own.

Run…Don’t Walk and See Them! - First of all….wheeeee!!!!! I love elephants. And what a joy to be able to hang out, walk with them, feed them snacks, watch them get a bath. Bonus we had a super fabulous lunch and the ride in the mangrove during a super wild rainstorm was awesome!!!!

Great experience - Memorable morning feeding and walking the elephants followed by a great mangrove kayaking experience. Lunch and cleanliness of the toilets at the elephant sanctuary was first class. Our guide Toni was superb!

Amazing. A must. But make sure you book through trip advisor to - Was amazing great tour guide. Loved the private tour. Tony and sprite were lovely and very informative thank you guys. We drank local coffee, ate local foods from a road market. saw the tsunami museum very interesting but sad, we had lunch there which was fresh and hot. Perfect ladies. And the best was feeding the elephants and watering them. Could watch them for ages. Very interesting animals. Thank you guys. Xx

Abusive supplement and disappointing exit - We were very disappointed: the transfer announced as included was not. Despite the information from our hotel transmitted three days before, the guide arrived 45 minutes late and we were asked to pay an additional 1500 baht just before his arrival. A real bad surprise. The excursion itself was expeditious: 1 hour of canoeing in the mangroves and only 30 minutes with elephants, giving them bananas and watching one take a few steps... It was very expensive paid for such a limited experience. The meal, very good, was unfortunately taken away from elephants, at the entrance of the site, which completely broke the immersion. In summary: excursion too short, expensive, poorly organized and unjustified supplement. We do not recommend.
