Elephant beach, Samet Nangshe viewpoint and Mantra Spa
Swimming with elephants, planes overhead, the Phang Nga panorama and an open-air spa to finish
Four very different places in one day, arranged so the energy goes up and then comes down. It opens quietly at the white temple, gets loud on the beach where aircraft pass low overhead, and peaks at the elephant beach, where the elephants are fed and go into the sea with you. Then the Samet Nangshe viewpoint over Phang Nga Bay with lunch, and the day closes at Mantra Spa — mineral pools, herbal baths and mud treatments in the open air.

Questions we get asked
Is this an elephant riding tour?
No. The elephants are fed and go into the sea alongside you, and there is no riding in the programme.
Is the spa part enough time to be worth it?
The stop at Mantra Spa runs for most of the late afternoon, which is long enough to use the mineral pools, the baths and the saunas without rushing.
What should I wear for the temple stop?
Anything that covers shoulders and knees. If you arrive in a swimsuit and shorts, the temple hires out cover-ups for a small fee.
Is an English-speaking guide available on this tour?
Yes, the tour includes an English-speaking guide.
