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

A great way to spend some time helping the do good volunteers walk their pups while they tend to more immediate demands of almost 70 animals! The most dogless Soi's I've seen has been on Ko Lanta! Well done LAW! More

It's nice to know that there are people looking to change the situation with the number of strays over the island. Pop by early in your trip and take the dogs for a walk. Lets keep this as the number one activity on the island - something socially conscious that visitors can get involved in and give a little something... More

The volunteers were friendly and knowledgeable about the organisation, the animals who had come to them, etc. This place is doing a great job of getting the animal population under control and providing a safe haven to injured and abadoned animals. People can stay there and volunteer their time. Alternatively, some volunteers stay at other places on the island and... More

went here and walked the dogs, and petted the cats. Great place with so much heart warmth and kindness. You should really give your time and go here- and if possible give a donation.. Its horrible to see mistreated or homeless animals, but such a reward to see how thankful they are for the help they get. More

I was living on Koh Lanta for 4 months and would often spend my days off at Lanta Animal Welfare. The work they are doing there is extremely important and honorable. As a visitor, the friendly staff is always willing to give you a tour and explain what it is they do. There's a nice area to visit and spend... More
