Khao Lak is a small town located in Phang Nga Province, southwestern Thailand. The town is about 80 kilometers away from Phuket and faces the Andaman Sea.

Khaolak Ethical Elephant Sanctuary (KES)
The Khaolak ethical elephant sanctuary (KES) is located in Khuekkhak subdistrict, Takua Pa district, Phang Nga province, near Sai Rung waterfall. It serves as a sanctuary for rescued Asian elephants from hard labor and traditional tourism industries, with a strong emphasis on elephant welfare. The highlight of KES is the "respectful observation" (observation-based) visiting model. Tourists will not ride elephants, bathe elephants, feed them, touch them, or be forced into any interaction. There are no shows or forced techniques, allowing elephants to live naturally in the rainforest—grazing, resting, wallowing in mud, or playing in rock pools as they please. Guides and mahouts share stories about rescue efforts, natural behaviors, and healthcare from a respectful distance, along with elevated viewing points. The tour group is small in size, with daily activities adjusted according to the elephants' comfort, weather conditions, and mahout recommendations. This place is nationally recognized for responsible tourism, ideal for those who want to deeply learn about Thai elephants, respect animal dignity, and support sustainable conservation.Takua Pa · 16.7km from downtown

There are not many people here by yacht. The white and flawless beach here is very beautiful. It is very comfortable to walk on the beach. The crescent-shaped beach is quite beautiful, and the sea water here is crystal clear.

Although many years have passed since the Indian Ocean tsunami in Southeast Asia, the situation at that time is very impressive for those of us who like Thailand and like to travel to Thailand, so this place is worth visiting and remembering.

The feeling when seeing the names on the wall was very sad, even though the atmosphere by the sea, the beach was beautiful and peaceful.

Gentle sunshine at Nang Thong Beach, Khao Lak..it is beautiful, calm sea with a black background of a white lighthouse..built to warn of maritime disasters after a major tsunami hit several southern provinces..whoever misses the smell of the sea, calm waves or sitting and watching the sunset here every day must come..during this period there is a cold wind coming as well, don't forget to bring a long-sleeved shirt to sit and watch the sea, chill chill.
