We enjoyed our Khao Lak tour immensely. Our guide Thani was very nice and patient. She took care of us well and even took our pictures. The most fun part was the elephant encounter. I was so happy to be able to feed and bathe the elephants. Hats off to their brave handlers. The rafting was pleasant, although the heat was a bit much.

Absolutely brilliant! Every activity was great fun! We were a group of 8, including 4 kids, and the activities were all great for kids too, who thoroughly enjoyed the day. The guide was excellent, explaining everything, not rushing and letting us enjoy each experience. The elephants were an incredible experience, highly recommended.
