Take along some casual wear, and prepare yourself. A camp director will ask if you want to take a short elephant ride. He might tell you it's just to see if you like riding an elephant. The changes are in his favor, that you will like it. It is a wonderful way to see nature at its best.
Most visitors go all the way and spend the rest of the day on elephant back exploring the interior.
There can be no better ways to enjoy the serene beauty of a tropical rain forest than from the back of an elephant or aboard a raft while drifting leisurely down a jungle stream. It's all there at Khao Lak. THAI's Royal Orchid Holidays certainly has a winner with it's coming Khao Lak programme. All of the above, elephant safari treks and bamboo rafting down jungle streams are part of the new Khao Lak package. Visitors can fly from Bangkok to Phuket and make the 58-kilometre drive by road to the resort area.
