LAW's objective is to relieve the suffering and pain of the animals on the island through sterilisation and care. We are open to visitors everyday from 11am to 5pm when our volunteer staff will happily provide a guided tour of the shelter. We have lots of friendly dogs who would love a long walk and cats who would like a cuddle! Our major sponsor is Time For Lime bar, restaurant and cooking school, without their valuable support we would not be here. « less

Two years ago volunteered at Lanta Animal Welfare as a vet for 3 1/2 months, and I loved it! Now I am back and I immediately felt like coming home. The staff members and volunteers working at Lanta Animal Welfare are lovely people, doing everything to help the animals. This time I am not working as a vet (at the... More

This animal shelter was so good to see in a place that it is very much needed. The volunteers were all friendly and helpful and it was great to see the animals so well cared for (we would love to adopt one)! It is worth taking the time to visit this place, walk one of their dogs and make a... More

I have just returned from a month long trip around Thailand volunteering and visiting various animal rescues and sanctuaries. Wow, so many needy animals but also so many caring people putting their time, energy and love into the cause. It was truly inspiring! I had the pleasure of spending a few days at LAW walking and cuddling some of their... More

Me and my husband went to visit LAW. We were amazed by this place. The volunteers really take an interest in the animals that live there. The animals are taken very well care of: cats walk around freely during day time, and only get locked in the spacious, comfortabel "cat house" during the night. The dogs live in 4 packs... More

My family visited LAW on our recent visit to Thailand and it is an amazing place! They do really great work there and you can walk the puppies and play with the animals. They have setup an adoption process that makes it very easy to adopt an animal and take it home to your country. They also have a restaurant... More

Amazing animal welfare centre that cares for animals on Koh Lanta. Volunteers come from all over the world to help at the centre and ensure that this part of Asia has healthy animals.

My wife and I visited the centre during a short break to Koh Lanta in April. Its great to see set ups like this one - trying to help to the local animals via vet care - including much needed sterilisations - and by rehoming of all the animals they can. Aso cool to see many of the dogs have... More

Me and my partner walked a couple of dogs for the Lanta Animal Welfare back in January, 2013. It is a good cause. I'm sure they'll appreciate any offer of help, even if it's just to walk a few dogs for them one day. There is cat sanctuary on site too but we didn't get chance to see it. When... More
