Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort

We stayed here one night for the elephant experience which was amazing! On the day of checkout we had their all inclusive lunch and I ordered the half spring chicken which was their special. Right after that I started cramping and feeling sick. We had a three hour journey by car and by the time I got to the next hotel I was in a lot of pain. After a lot of runs to the bathroom, I finally decided to go the Emergency Room at the nearby hospital and they told me it was food poisoning and kept me there for the night with IV and antibiotics. My request to this hotel is to not ruin people's expensive and well earned vacations by going cheap on your food. If you cannot be generous enough to serve fresh food if you are all inclusive, charge for it!! You charge $500 per room per night! You have spoilt my whole vacation. One week of medicines and still too weak to do any of my planned activities with my children. Its a shame

Great to be in a hotel where they do everything right! Staff speaks very good English (one of the few 5 star hotels in Thailand where they speak English). Everything is included in the dailyrate. And no cheap and tasteless buffets here (like in the FloatHouse). A-La-Carte Italian or Thai food and great food. Nice Italian restaurant. Good wine is also included. Breakfast is buffet style with an eggstation. The house elephant wil come at 8.30 AM for his breakfast to be served by the guests, a daily happening. Nice rooms with teak floors, a good shower and great views. The most spectaculair pool in Thailand overlooking the landscape. They serve drinks and food around the pool. It has its own elephant camp on site. It is 70 km from Chiang Rai so no easy city visit. But they provide great tours as well. We went to Birma, crossed over the Mekong in a boat like James Bond and visited tempels and markets in 3 countries (Including Laos). Don't forget to book a lazy day here.

This hotel has one of the best experience nit only for your stay but also for your travel experience. First its service is top notched quality with all inclusive cost for your uncompromised adventure. The Thai and Italian restaurants offer very tasteful meals including fusion food for Thai and Italian like River fish with risotto or Angus beef with curry. We love its cesar salad and Parmesan pasta which the servant will present the food at your table side. Second it includes the elephant adventure tour and adventure that you can be a mahout and ride the elephant to swim in the river, a unique experience, given the hotel supports the stayed elephants with the in-house mahout village in the hotel area where you will visit and experience the real Thai elephant. Third, the stay embraces the full day tour to visit three countries - Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar - given the hotel location locates right at the confluence of three countries and two rivers called Golden Triangle and hence the hotel name. Recommend.

one of the most amazing hotels I have ever stayed at, everything was excellent, from check in thru meals , drinks, facilities and elephant experience. would recommend to anyone who likes animals or and good food. would stay longer if I could.

The hallmark of the resort is the elephant experience. Rooms were good although the lighting is too dim for reading. Sleeping comfort is good and bathroom was good. Air condition was good and blackout curtain was effective. Food selection was good but not exceptional. The resort pays attention to food allergies and intolerances. Front office staff was always eager to assist. We enjoyed the heated pool daily. Massage services could be improved.
