Staying at LM Khao Lak and have booked all but 1 day of snorkeling trips (Similan). Would like to have a 1/2 day to a full day Elephant tour (prefer 1/2 day, would like to just lounge rest of day). Can anyone recommend an Elephant tour in the area?

i can't, but having just returned from the khao lak lm i can tell you they do have a tour desk at the hotel that (i'm sure) would be thrilled to book one for you if you don't get other recommendations. you may well be able to get info from them in advance by email.

I agree with Karen - every travel/tour office in town - or at your hotel can help you book such a trip.
