We then make our way into the forest. With our guide, you will follow and observe elephants in the forest, and learn about their behaviors and personalities.

Create and launch seed balls with healthy nutrients to help the elephants recover.

At the end of the tour at Following Giants, you can enjoy a delicious buffet lunch at our visitor area. Please note that the dishes are vegetarian only, but very tasty!

Location

Faq

At Following Giants on Koh Lanta the elephants can roam around in peace, which means visitors are not allowed to touch them or play with them. The mission of this sanctuary is to take care of them in their natural habitat and to increase public knowledge about this mighty animal. This will benefit our future generations and the elephants can get old happy and worry free!

Most definitely! Following giants Koh Lanta welcomes children from 3 years old. Safety is our concern, so we give young and old guidelines and rules at the start of the program. That way we can keep the trip safe and fun for everyone. Babies in strollers are also welcome, but for children aged 1 and 2, the program is not suitable because of the jungle walk.

We welcome pregnant women to the sanctuary, but keep in mind that we walk along the park with the elephants. This can be tiring for women during their late pregnancy.

We are open year round, rain or sunshine. The elephants enjoy the rain as they can have fun in the mud and water. Don’t worry about the weather: if it’s necessary we’ll provide rain coats and umbrellas. Visiting Following Giants in Koh Lanta during a rainy day is something special!

You can cancel your booking for free up until 24 hours in advance of the tour start date. That means you need to cancel no later than 23:59, 2 days before the tour date. We’ll refund you the deposit or you can choose to use it as an advance to a different booking or tour.

    Simple, quiet, and powerful. Just how it should be.

  2. Yeva Grigoryan

    I didn’t know what to expect, but it ended up being one of the best things I did in Thailand. So quiet, so genuine.

  3. Joel Armstrong

    Great alternative to the more tourist-heavy animal parks.
