Just north of Phuket, the coastline gives way to rugged hills cloaked in tropical rainforest. Khao Lak Lam Ru National Park is one of the wildest corners of Thailand's Andaman coast, a place of tangled jungle, clear streams and cascading waterfalls.
This safari day swaps the beach for the forest. You will meet elephants up close, hand-feed playful monkeys and spend hours surrounded by nature, making it a great choice for families with children and anyone curious about Thailand beyond its sand and sea.
Monkeys are fast and inquisitive, so keep sunglasses, hats and snacks secure. Shoulders and knees should be covered when visiting a temple. Always follow the handlers' instructions around elephants and other animals.
The route may also include a short stop at a local Buddhist temple; your guide will confirm the exact order of the day.
