Following Giants near Ao Nang is a no-touch sanctuary on 85 acres at Khao Khram, home to 14 rescued elephants. It works with World Animal Protection, and the rules are simple. There's no riding, no bathing, no feeding and no shows. You watch the herd graze and play in open country with a Thai, English-speaking guide who talks you through each animal's behavior.
The 90-minute visit is ฿1,700 for adults and ฿950 for children, the half day ฿2,750 and ฿1,750, and the full day ฿3,850 and ฿2,850. A 2.5-hour program at ฿2,450 adds making paper from elephant dung. Everything except the 90-minute visit includes transfers. The ground here is flatter than at the Koh Lanta sanctuary, so it's the one to pick for anyone with mobility problems.
