Here's our shortlist of must-do activities in our favorite Thailand locations.
An ethical escape: Phuket Elephant Sanctuary
Thalang, Phuket | Stay at 아웃리거 수린 비치 리조트
Immerse yourself in the tranquility of Phuket Elephant Sanctuary, a trailblazer in ethical wildlife tourism. In this lush sanctuary, you're invited to peacefully coexist with rescued elephants. Each elephant has a story, which the sanctuary has lovingly woven into a narrative that champions dignity over entertainment. The verdant grounds echo the soft steps of these majestic creatures, offering a rare chance to see them engage in natural behaviors like foraging and bathing.
Insider tip: Arrive in the cool morning to see the elephants in their most active state and check out the vantage point of the Canopy Walkway for some great photo moments.
Underwater wonderland: The Similan Islands
Phang Nga Province | Stay at 아웃리거 카오락 비치 리조트
Known for crystal-clear waters and powdery beaches, the Similan Islands serve as a marine sanctuary for an abundance of fish and coral species. Snorkel above the coral reefs for the chance to encounter a curious turtle or watch a school of tropical fish dance in the sunlight-dappled waters. Above water, the islands boast equally stunning vistas, with pristine beaches and jungles.
Insider tip: Plan your snorkeling early when the sea is a mirror of calm and try a weekday when the crowds are minimal.
Meeting the gentle giants: Samui Elephant Haven
Koh Samui | Stay at 아웃리거 코사무이 비치 리조트
At Samui Elephant Haven, each encounter is designed to educate, inspire and create a connection between humans and elephants. You can walk alongside the elephants, sharing in the quiet moments of their daily lives. Watch them bathe in the mud pits, a natural behavior critical to their health and well-being, or view them as they wander the expansive grounds. This is a place where every visit supports a broader mission to end the exploitation of these intelligent creatures, and it is oh-so-much-fun.
Insider tip: A half-day tour is a perfect length, giving you time to explore the area or lounge at the resort afterward.
Romance rekindled: Vow renewal ceremony on Bangsak Beach
Phang Nga Province | Stay at 아웃리거 카오락 비치 리조트
A vow renewal ceremony on Bangsak Beach is a testimony to enduring love set against the lapping waves soundtrack of the Andaman Sea. As the sun dips, the sky blooms into a canvas of oranges and purples, providing a natural altar for couples to renew their commitments. The intimate ambience of Bangsak Beach and the simple, special ceremony creates an unparalleled setting for saying "I do," again.
Insider tip: Make sure to time your spoken vows with the setting sun, as the dramatic colors of twilight create a magical backdrop.
