Khao Lok Elephant Sanctuary, Tsunami Museum & Takua Pa

DebbyFleming, Feb 2025

Our guide Spider-Man was very knowledgeable answering all our questions, it’s abundantly clear these 6 beautiful elephants are well loved & cared for. We made treats to feed them, we didn’t feel rushed. The next stop was to the Tsunami Museum this was very emotional speaking to a young lady who had to climb a coconut tree for safety. The Wat Kongka Phimuk is a beautiful temple again Spider-Man explained the history of the temple. Our final stop was the street market, lots of food to try, school children preforming national dancing, the market has more food stalls than anything else. The day was amazing it was like a private tour just my husband & I. Thank you

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! 😊 It sounds like you had an unforgettable day with Spider-Man as your guide. It's heartwarming to hear how well the elephants are cared for and that you had the chance to connect with both history and local culture. From the emotional moment at the Tsunami Museum to the vibrant street market, it truly seems like a perfect, personalized tour. We’re so glad you and your husband enjoyed it! 🐘🌸🍢

Very interesting

Lauren_S, Jun 2024

Loved feeding the elephants and learning about the sanctuary. Tsunami museum and memorial was interesting. Unfortunately the market wasn't very interesting. Not enough stalls because of the rain. Tony our guide was lovely. It was just my husband and me so it was like a private tour.

Exceptionnel

Charlene_L, Mar 2025

Journée exceptionnelle avec un guide( Tony) plus que sympathique avec qui nous étions seuls. Nous avons visité un temple, le sanctuaire aux éléphants, le mémorial du Tsunami, puis le marché de Takua Pa, en ayant l'impression d'être privilégiés tellement nous étions tranquilles. Nous nous souviendrons de cette visite ! Nous ne parlons pas forcément bien anglais mais ça n'a pas du tout était un problème !
