Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort

It was truly an unforgettable experience in my life walking with the Giant elephant and a dream come true to experience the moment. All my friends enjoyed it so much, and I will always remember that special day. I really appreciate Khun Win for guiding us and sharing the story behind the elephants his passion welcoming and the assistant especially Jumboo. His dedication, knowledge, and genuine love for the elephants were so inspiring. You can feel how deeply he cares for them, and it made the experience even more meaningful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

We are having a multi trip holiday in Thailand, first stop, the Anantara Golden Triangle Resort in Chiang Rai. Travelling at the beginning of September to miss the school holidays knowing this is out of season here in this beautiful part of the world. From the minute arrived we had the most wonderful greeting and were upgraded from our Deluxe room to a suite (room 342) which was amazing and what a room. That said, there are two things that set this place apart. First off the activities that are offered to you, most inclusive within your package but some which we highly recommend you do are at an additional cost. Walking with Giants, a 90 minute up close with the most magnificent elephants, we were able to shower them, walk with amazing guides, Tiger was brilliant, so knowledgeable and talked all about what they do here to look after these stunning creatures. The Spa, a 2 hour massage for both of us was so relaxing after a long travel from London. If you can stretch to the next 2 things, I would highly recommend these. Tree top dining, an intimate dining experience high in the tree tops, arrange this about 45 minutes before sunset so you see the 2 sides to a magnificent experience, however the best experience without doubt was the Jungle Bubble overnight stay. You are literally in a glass like bubble that is right next to where the elephants live. You have an amazing dinner served whilst watching them roam freely, eating right in front of you, then to Ben where you sleep under the stars…again, if you can afford this, it really is a must. The next thing that sets this place apart are the staff. We have been very fortunate and humbled to stay in some amazing hotels around the world but the staff here, simply incredible. So friendly, so welcoming and bar none every single member of staff has a smile on their faces. The hotel was quiet, which was lovely, but the staff were never intrusive, just always there when you needed, nothing was too much trouble and they genuinely looked like they loved being here, simply a beautiful place with the most beautiful staff. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the most memorable of 4 days here.

Our journey to Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort was truly one of a kind. At xemsomenh.com, we were deeply moved by the harmony between luxury, nature, and meaningful conservation. Surrounded by the misty mountains where Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar meet, we experienced breathtaking views and unforgettable moments with the gentle elephants. The resort’s dedication to sustainability and wildlife protection made our stay not only relaxing but also inspiring on a spiritual level. For us, Anantara Golden Triangle was more than a resort – it was a sanctuary of compassion, culture, and timeless beauty.

Great stay with my wife and our two teenagers, with unique daily experiences for each. The location is a bit far but worth the trip. Expensive but again, worth it.

We are a family of four and all had a brilliant time here. Food, room (Mekong Explorer suite) and service all outstanding. We loved all of the activities - especially going to the market and then learning to cook with PJ (who was an outstanding host), the sky bike, river trip and then course the wonderful elephants. We also enjoyed the tennis and Muy Thai boxing lesson. All round superb experience.
