Best elephant center near Khao Lak?

I don%26#39;t know if there is more than one, but would appreciate any recommendations. I don%26#39;t want to visit an elephant center that treats the animals poorly. Ideally, I%26#39;d like a place that would let my little one and I feed the elephants bananas while my husband and older kids did a short trek (1/2 hour).

Thanks,

Temple

There is the Asia Safari Park which is just outside Khao lak Town, on the other side of Highway 4 from the Merlin. Have a look at this German Forum for loads of photos

I believe if you go down to the beach between the Merlin and the Poseidon Bungalows in the evening about 5pm, you will see the elephants bathing in the sea.

Thanks Arandora. That%26#39;s just what I needed. I think I did see those photos -- you suggested that website to me a few weeks ago, and I really enjoyed the all the photos.

Warmly,
