From Phuket: Khao Lak Fairytales – Sunrise over the Bay and Elephants

We went on the "Tales of Khao Lak" tour. It was a very interesting excursion featuring a variety of locations and activities—from sunrise at the bay and a long-tail boat ride to meeting ostriches and swimming in a waterfall. I’d like to give a special shout-out to our guide, Andrey; he not only shared details about the places we visited but also provided a wealth of information about life in Thailand. Everything was fantastic. Thank you!

We went on the “Khao Lak Fairy Tales” tour with our guide, Andrey. There were three of us—two adults and a child—and the day turned out to be truly magical. The sunrise on the glass bridge was particularly memorable: watching the first rays of the sun bathe Phang Nga Bay in gold makes you realize exactly why people travel to places like this. Our guide shared everything in a lively way—avoiding dry facts in favor of engaging stories that you really want to listen to. The itinerary was perfectly balanced, offering both active moments (elephant riding, bamboo rafting) and time to simply sit back and admire the scenery. Our child especially loved feeding, riding, and bathing with the elephants. Swimming at the waterfall was a highlight, too—the water was cool and incredibly refreshing after such a busy day. The seafood lunch was delicious and filling. I also want to highlight the organization: the transfer was comfortable, the group was small, and no one was ever rushed. Everything ran right on schedule but without any sense of haste. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the “real” Khao Lak and make some wonderful memories. Another important point: we were the first to arrive at every location—no crowds, no pushing or shoving—it was all fantastic. Thanks to the team for their care and for creating such a great atmosphere! Special thanks to our guide, Andrey, and our driver. Highly recommended! 👍

A very interesting tour. You are guaranteed an energy boost from the breathtaking views and the time spent with the elephants. Our guide, Ilya, shared a lot of interesting information. Highly recommended.

The tour was fantastic—we loved everything. The locations and scenery were stunning, the timing was perfectly planned, and we had the places almost entirely to ourselves as a small group.

Good afternoon! Today we went on the "Tales of Khao Lak" tour, accompanied by our guide, the historian Ilya 🌊🥥💥. My mother, my daughter, and I are visiting Phuket for the first time. As a travel agent who regularly visits different countries for work—usually twice every six months—I have a solid basis for comparing how information is presented to tourists. I really appreciated the way Ilya explained everything and vividly illustrated the history of Thailand and its specific provinces. He gave a very detailed account of Thailand's kings 🙌—it was truly captivating! Sometimes you listen to a guide and just want to sleep, but here, you soak up every word and find yourself falling even more in love with Thailand. The timing was spot-on, and he was always there to help whenever needed! Another huge bonus is that Ilya is a photography enthusiast who helps you capture unforgettable shots of the tour's highlights! I believe so much depends on the guide—the way they present the material determines whether or not you truly understand and fall in love with the country! After all, you can simply read facts online without any emotion, but it’s the delivery that makes the difference—and Ilya nailed it 🤩. Thank you for the tour, Ilya!

Everything is wonderful.
