<p data-start="30" data-end="471">We went on the 'Tales of Khao Lak' tour. The weather, unfortunately, was really bad — the sunrise didn’t happen, and we could barely see Phang Nga Bay through the wall of rain and fog. It was honestly a bit scary to be on the boat, seeing only about 20 meters ahead. But thanks to our guide, Alexander Potapov — his jokes helped lighten the mood, and he shared a lot of interesting information about the area and the country in general.</p> <p data-start="473" data-end="630">On the bright side, the rain actually added to the experience: it turned into a real jungle adventure, with rivers flowing stronger and waterfalls roaring!</p> <p data-start="632" data-end="898">A note to Treasure Island: consider changing the elephant walking location. The animals seem well-fed and cared for, but they are chained at the legs, and we saw a staff member hit an elephant with a stick. There are more ethical elephant sanctuaries in Phuket.</p>

Amazing tour! Despite the heavy rain all day, it was beautiful and fun — the weather had its own charm. We got to see real tropics in the rainy season — so vivid! Special thanks to our guide, Alexander!
Today was an unforgettable day))) We were on the Fairy Tales of Khao Lak excursion, and despite the bad weather everything went at the highest level. Guide Ksenia did not let us get bored, answered our questions and told us a lot of interesting things. Of course, most of all my husband and I liked the elephants — they are so cute 🥰, friendly. Also, we were served very tasty seafood there 😋. I recommend tours from Treasure Island to everyone ☺️👍
