Tour Plan

Your Khao Lak Safari adventure starts with a convenient pick-up directly from your hotel. Our friendly driver and guide will meet you in the hotel lobby around 7:30 am (exact time depends on your hotel location). From there, you'll embark on a full day of unforgettable experiences in Phang Nga, blending adventure, nature, and culture.


Refresh yourself with a ride on the most ancient Thai transportation on the river—bamboo rafts. Glide along the tranquil waters while your paddler skillfully navigates the river. Keep your eyes open, as your paddler might point out wild animals resting in the trees above, such as snakes, monkeys, spiders, and monitor lizards. This serene journey through the lush jungle offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in nature, observe wildlife up close, and experience the peacefulness of Khao Lak’s pristine landscape. It’s an adventure that blends relaxation with the thrill of spotting wildlife in their natural habitat.

Next destination is the Queen Turtle Conservation Center. Located in a military-protected area, this center is dedicated to the preservation of Thailand's native sea turtles. Here, you’ll learn about the conservation efforts to protect these endangered creatures, including the care provided to young turtles before they are released back into the wild. You’ll have the opportunity to see various stages of the turtles' development, from hatchlings to juveniles, and gain insight into the challenges they face due to environmental threats. This visit is both educational and heartwarming, as you witness the efforts made to ensure the survival of these majestic sea creatures.

Take some time to relax near a refreshing waterfall, where the sounds of cascading water will rejuvenate your senses. Whether you choose to cool off with a swim or simply enjoy the peaceful ambiance, it's the perfect spot to unwind. Afterward, indulge in a delicious Thai lunch, offering a variety of local dishes that will help you recover your energy for the rest of the day’s adventures. Savor the flavors while surrounded by the beauty of Khao Lak’s natural scenery, making this a moment of calm and nourishment amidst your exploration.

After lunch, we will take you to a serene traditional temple, where you’ll have the opportunity to learn about Buddhism and its practices. Our guide will offer a brief introduction to the temple’s significance and explain some of the rituals that are commonly practiced here. You may also want to participate in the Chinese prophecy, where you shake a bamboo container filled with numbered sticks to receive guidance for the future, or try your hand at a few other Buddhist rituals. It’s a peaceful and spiritual experience, offering insight into the deep-rooted traditions of Thai culture.


Surrounded by lush tropical nature, you’ll enjoy a truly unique experience—bathing with an elephant! Spend about 30 minutes splashing around with these gentle giants, as they cool off in the water. This hands-on experience allows you to connect with the elephants in a respectful way, and it’s sure to be a highlight of your trip. Please note, we do not engage in elephant riding, ensuring the well-being of these magnificent animals. Prepare to get wet and enjoy this unforgettable adventure!

After an exhilarating day of exploring Khao Lak’s natural beauty and wildlife, your guide and driver will return you to your hotel. You can expect to arrive back at your accommodation in the late afternoon, feeling relaxed and fulfilled from your adventure. Be sure to collect all your belongings before exiting the vehicle, and we hope to welcome you back to Khao Lak soon for more unforgettable experiences!
