Kellan Lutz rang in his birthday in a pretty epic way.

The Hercules star kicked off his big 2-9 in Thailand, partying at Nikki Beach Phuket Saturday with an elephant and a pretty blonde companion who donned a white bikini and angel wings.

During what looked like a boy's trip, Lutz's bros rocked t-shirts that said "A Celebration of Life" on the front and "Where It Happens…Phuket; Happy Birthday Kellan" on the back.

And that wasn't all.

"Happy Birthday Kellan" was lit up on torches in honor of the actor's big day, and Lutz was presented with a cake topped with lion figurines and huts.

The big bash isn't the only way the hunky thesp has been making the most of his trip to Thailand, though.

Earlier in the week, the actor celebrated the opening of the new Nikki Beach club, showing off his acrobatic skills while Flyboarding and hovering over the water. Then, he went on to ride an elephant and party with Jean-Claude Van Damme.

In addition to his birthday trip, Lutz and his team asked fans via Twitter to help him raise $29,000 in honor of his 29th birthday for Saving Innocence, a charity that helps rescue and restore child victims of sex trafficking in the United States.

"My birthday 29th birthday is March 15, so for the month of March the goal is to raise $29,000 for Saving Innocence. $29,000 will provide a year of therapy for all of the girls. This is all I want for my birthday. Join me in saying no more, not our kids, not on our streets. Lets end child sex trafficking," he said in a video on the fundraising site.
