We
are based at Baan Nai
Sra just 20 minutes drive
from Krabi and there we
invite you to climb aboard
one of our five elephants.
Then suddenly you're high
above the ground and heading
into this amazing scenery
where the quiet will envelope
you as you relax into
the swaying rhythm of
the elephant's walk on
a one or two hour trek
(dependant on 2 hour or
half day safari). Our
elephants are not working
elephants, they work only
with tourists; some elephant
trekking operations abuse
their animals by forcing
the animals to trek with
tourists after a long
day working in the forest,
controlling the elephants
with fear and violence
which can only lead to
frustration and anger
in these otherwise gentle
creatures. All our elephants
are well looked after,
well fed and watered and
above all respected, we
hope and believe they
are happy; a happy elephant
is a safe elephant. After
the trek we head to Sra
Keaw Cave a huge overhanging
cave of multiple tiers
each pillared with stalactites
which we give you time
to explore at leisure,
providing you with drinks
and snacks. Here you can
also swim in the mineral
water pool that emerges
from the cave and sample
some of the local pineapples.
It's a good idea to feed
the elephants, they won't
forget the kindness, but
it is watching the dexterity
of their trunks that is
the real pleasure. On
the half day tour we give
you a chance to see that
dexterity put to use as
our elephants put on a
working demonstration
for you. You will not
believe just how clever
and strong these animals
can be.
After we say goodbye to
the elephants we will
show you one of the newer
attractions in this ancient
landscape by taking you
to some of the areas that
featured in the movie
'The Beach' starring Leonardo
Di Caprio. After which
we will transfer you back
to your Hotel.
