Half-day elephant experience from Khao Lak

Seeing Asian elephants from a few metres away is one of life's must-do experiences – so this trip is a big tick on the bucket list. Head to an elephant santuary in Khao Lak, and you'll get to go behind-the-scenes to learn all there is to know about these gentle giants. Arriving at its beautiful lagoon setting, you'll get to know the elephants' stories and prepare their food. After time to observe them and help with their care, you'll finish off with a tasty Thai lunch and a chance to make a traditional Thai herbal pomander 'Ya-Dom' which you can take with you.
