I can’t recommend visiting Lanta Animal Welfare enough! We weren’t sure what the center would be like in the low season (most of the rest of the island is a ghost town) but the second we walked in, we were warmly greeted by a volunteer named Kelly who got us signed up to take some puppies on a walk and take a tour of the facilities. While we waited, we got to cuddle with all the friendly cats in their “cat city” and chat with Kelly about they work they do there. Dog walking was really fun — we got to walk two super energetic pups and the volunteers that walked with us were friendly and eager to chat with us. They also had mosquito repellant that they offered us as we walked through part of the woods. After dog walking, Kelly gave us a full tour of the facilities and talked in great detail about every space, dog, and activity that went on at the center. She was super knowledgeable and communicated an incredible amount of info while keeping it engaging and interesting — not an easy feat, as it was POURING rain for most of the tour. After the tour, she let everyone know what they could do to support the center’s efforts, both monetarily and not. I can’t stress enough what a great time we had at the center and how much anyone coming to Thailand should come visit! Learning about their mission and cuddling kittens were both highlights of our entire Thailand trip.

Soi Dog Foundation is S.E. Asia’s largest rescue organisation for vulnerable street dogs and stray cats.

For animals unable to be returned safely to the streets, SDF provides sanctuary, as well as local and international adoption services. Rather than a “pound”, SDF is a haven where sick and vulnerable dogs and cats receive world-class medical care, and love. SDF is working in several countries to help end the inhumane and barbaric dog meat trade. SDF is also committed to environmental sustainability and has several ongoing green initiatives. Please feel free to enquire during your tour. Guided tours available Monday-Friday at 10:00am and 13:30pm. Following the 40-minute tour, visitors are encouraged to socialise with our lovely cats and dogs.

Simply an amazing and rewarding experience - we gave five days of our time volunteering, which primarily involved walking the dogs and then hours of playful interaction. We were so sad to leave at the end, but recommend it to the many travellers who pass through Thailand.

It's easy to visit many of these temples dotted around when walking around the old city of Chiang Mai, the architecture here is stunning and well worth a visit.
5. Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,807 reviews
This temple complex not only serves as a religious site for the monks who live and worship there, but also features a maze of natural caves in an overgrown jungle valley where stone tools, pottery remains and the mold for making Buddha footprints have been excavated.

What a physical exercise that ended with stunning views at the top of tiger cave mountain. About 1260 steep steps, equivalent of 300m height or 600m walk, this activity is definitely recommended for those who are looking for strenuous activity in Krabi. Definitely recommend but be ready for sweaty evening. Start at 5pm and be there by 6pm to get a clear sunset view. Carry plenty of water to stay hydrated but you will get filtered cold water tap at the top of the hill. People bring drones as well for a clear sky experience. We thoroughly enjoyed this and would do it again next time we are in Krabi.

Absolutely beautiful beach!! Gentle waves, beautiful sand, crystal clear water. A few small massage huts and little restaurants on the beach, but it's so quiet, so tranquil, so peaceful. Shade in the afternoon great for kids. Little village at the end of the beach has a few local restaurants, mini marts, laundry, a few souvenir shops. Very stunning, quiet and relaxed part of the world, it's so beautiful!

The White Temple looks amazing the detail on the Temple buildings is incredible and there is a lot of modern themes in the paintings and sculptures in the complex the ablution building is an art piece on its own it’s painted gold as a contrast to the white.The White Temple is definitely one of a kind and if you have the chance to get there you’ll be rewarded with something that you have never seen before
