Itinerary

Pick up from your hotel in Khao Lak area

We've got you covered! Your friendly driver and guide will pick you up in a comfy air-conditioned minibus at around 8 am, right in front of your hotel lobby.

The pick-up time may vary depending on where your hotel is located, but we'll confirm the exact time when you book.

Briefing about safety and the History and Welfare of elephants

When visiting the Elephant Welfare Centre, visitors receive a briefing on the proper and ethical ways to interact with the elephants. The historical relationship between the families of Elephantidae and human beings in Thailand dates back to the 12th century. This enduring connection offers a rich tapestry of coexistence, symbiotic harmony, historical significance, and the evolving welfare of elephants in the Kingdom of Thailand.

Imagine the thrill of breaking the ice with the elephants by offering them delicious treats to eat! Just like us, elephants adore fruit! You'll receive a basket of fruit to hand-feed these amazing creatures and create unforgettable memories. Capture the perfect portrait of your new elephant friends during feeding time! It's the ideal opportunity to snap some amazing photos.

After you become acquainted with the elephants, get ready to join them in the river for the ultimate elephant pool party! These gentle giants absolutely adore splashing around and having a blast in the water, so make sure to pack your swim clothes because you're in for a wild and wonderful time. Get ready to make unforgettable memories that will leave you feeling like you're on top of the world!

If you decide to stand on the river bank to take some memorable photos, be cautious not to accidentally get sprayed by the elephant's trunks. It's a good idea to bring a waterproof case for your phone or camera if you want to get close to the action!

Parting in such sweet sorrow, it is time to say your goodbyes and farewells to your newfound friends. Our drivers will now return you to the hotel whence you came. It's been a beautiful journey filled with laughter, shared moments, and cherished memories. Goodbyes are never easy, but they remind us of the deep connections we've made and the joy we've experienced together.

Supporting ethical elephant tourism in Thailand is a step towards a more compassionate and sustainable future. We at Khao Lak Land Discovery would like to express our gratitude for your participation in this noble endeavour.

Frequently asked questions

ABOUT ACES
Asian Captive Elephant Standards is the independent, reliable and transparent link between the tourism industry and captive elephant welfare. Our camp guidelines were developed in 2015 and after much consultation we developed a set of over 190 strict camp criteria. All criteria have been independently validated by international specialists in elephant management, veterinary care and animal welfare. Our goal is to ensure Asian elephant welfare while meeting the needs of the community and tourism stakeholders.

Elephant welfare is the most important aspect of elephant tourism, and we engage, support and strengthen the tourism industry’s role in providing excellent standards of elephant care.

We believe in respectful communication and cooperation with elephant camp owners. We do not condone rude or angry behaviour towards camps as this is not in the spirit of responsible travel, harmony or improvement. We prefer to listen and offer help rather than act in a combative manner.
