Elephant Lover

Half Day Trip

This Khao Lak tour is for total elephant lovers, at Khao Lak Elephant Home — a small sanctuary a short drive from Khao Lak caring for rescued elephants, including several rescued from street begging in Bangkok. There’s no riding here, just real time with the herd.

Starting with feeding the elephants, keep your eyes peeled — you’ll see how intelligent they are, especially when there’s food around.

Once feeding is done, you’ll walk together with your elephant along a shaded path down to the river — a relaxed, guided walk on the ground beside your elephant, never on its back.

At the river it’s time for a mud spa and bathing session — a truly wonderful experience, one that will live with you forever. Here you’ll find a more social side to the elephants, with their playful and mischievous personalities coming out. Squirting water and splashing around are always a favourite.

Photo opportunities are plentiful throughout the day.

As we end our shared experience, I’ll return you safely back to your hotel, leaving you with happy memories of our nature-filled private Khao Lak tour.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the Elephant Lover tour?

Hand-feeding, a guided walk with your elephant down to the river, and a mud spa and bathing session with the elephants at Khao Lak Elephant Home, plus soft drinks and round-trip transportation.

What actually happens on this tour?

We start by feeding the elephants, then walk together down a shaded path to the river, where you'll join a mud spa and bathing session — a playful, social side of the elephants really comes out in the water.

Is this an ethical way to spend time with elephants?

Yes — Khao Lak Elephant Home is a small sanctuary caring for rescued elephants, including several rescued from street begging in Bangkok. There's no riding involved, ever — when you walk with your elephant to the river, you're beside it on the ground, holding a lead rope, the same way it's commonly done at ethical elephant camps across Thailand. This tour is about feeding, walking and bathing time with the herd, never riding.
