Elephant encounter
Very hot and humid with lots of bugs. Wear lots of bug spray and sunscreen. The team was very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the safety and livelihood of the elephants in their car. Very enjoyable.

Great experience for a rainy day - remember mozzi spray
1 hour walk & learn with guide - Euro was so knowledgeable and made the kids feel safe. The elephant care takers were so gentle with the elephants and we loved feeding them and getting close to them. Highly recommend!

Awesome elephant tour!
This was a wonderful small group tour and we got to feed the elephants, take lots of pictures, and talk with the guides at length about the elephants. The elephants only do what they want to do, so very respectful of the animals. And each elephant has it’s own personality and you really get to see that on this tour. Highly recommend it!

A very ethical sanctuary...
A very ethical sanctuary which I️ really appreciated. Our tour guide was very informative and answered any questions we had. We learned the history of the elephants they have at the facility and had the opportunity to to feed them and walk alongside one of their older elephants.

Great experience
Really nice experience. The guide was very informative and took time to answer any questions and took plenty of photographs for each individual. The elephants are well looked after and it's nice to see that they can roam freely - one at a time.

Rip Off!!
One hour of which a lot was standing around doing nothing. For the price one needed more. If the issue was simply a donation to keep 5 rescued elephants going it should have been said. No real interaction with the elephants except to feed them a few small bananas from well back behind a fence. Was very good when one was brought down to bathe
Nothing wrong with the staff. No crowd

Excellent and genuine ethical elephant sanctuary
We were wary of any excursions involving elephants as we only wished to visit an Ethical Elephant Sanctuary, absolutely not wishing to contribute to anything that would cause stress or anxiety to these beautiful animals. If you choose to do an elephant excursion then highly recommend this guided tour with Khao Lak Elephant Sanctuary which is definitely an ethical sanctuary. We got up close to 5 gorgeous female elephants who all had a sad back story until coming to this caring sanctuary. Each has their own personal carer who are trained in how to support them, they are fed a very healthy and plentiful diet, are taken on regular walks and also have freedom. All 5 elephants were in great health and appeared very happy and content with their new lives gaining confidence and living without fear. We learnt about their diet snd well being and went on a short walk with one of the elephants as we had chosen only the short small group guided tour. Take care not to visit any so called sanctuary that involves bathing the elephants as this is just way too stressful for them and thankfully this is absolutely not permitted at this sanctuary. We enjoyed many opportunities for photos taken by ourselves but also by our lovely guide.

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and responsible review.
We completely understand your concern about choosing a truly ethical elephant experience, and we’re very pleased to hear that your visit to Khao Lak Elephant Sanctuary met your expectations. Supporting sanctuaries that prioritize the animals’ welfare, freedom, and long-term wellbeing is extremely important.
It’s encouraging to know that the elephants are individually cared for, provided with a healthy diet, regular walks, and a stress-free environment. Your observation that they appeared calm, healthy, and more confident in their new lives speaks volumes about the sanctuary’s standards. We also appreciate you highlighting the importance of avoiding activities such as forced bathing, which can cause unnecessary stress to elephants.
We’re glad you enjoyed the small group format, the educational aspect of the visit, and the photo opportunities arranged by your guide. Experiences like this should be respectful, informative, and focused on the animals’ wellbeing — and it’s wonderful to hear that this was exactly what you experienced.
Thank you again for your detailed recommendation and for choosing to travel responsibly.
