You might have company when you settle in for your morning cup of coffee at Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort. Here elephants take center stage, and your luxurious digs are in the midst of their natural habitat at the convergence of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos. Anantara paired with a traditional mahout village that works alongside the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation, which performs street rescues, provides employment and gives more than 25 elephants and 60 people a comfortable living. That means the once-in-a-lifetime experience you’ll get by interacting with these gentle creatures is life changing for them, too.

I stayed at Anantara Golden Triangle during the end of November. The hotel offered exceptional service with an amazing experience that is rarely found in other hotels. From the first step you took walking into the hotel, we were welcomed with a northern traditional drum, a small giveaway bracelet, and a welcome drink with a warm touch of local experience. The room had an amazing view in the morning with the sunrise and was spacious inside. I highly recommend experiencing the activities at the resort, which include Walking with Giants and sidecar activities, where you will feel truly connected to nature and the local people. I was lucky enough to see local people pick up Chrysanthemum flowers by hand. Special thanks to K. Neptune, K. Tom, K. Dome, K. Ploy, and K. Pure who created a memorable experience for us this time, as well as Khun Mor and the Kwanchang team who walked with the elephants with us. It was the best trips of the year for me, and Anantara Golden Triangle will always have a special place in my heart.

We went to Anantara elephant sanctuary to celebrate my 65th birthday. As soon as we arrived we were blown away by the welcome drums, check in with a massage, warm towel and drink. Our room was glorious! Homemade macaroons and a welcome water bottle to keep. Our view from our balcony of the valley was spectacular!! The people so friendly, helpful and accommodating. The staff surprised me with a birthday cake and a lovely message on our bed. But our highlight was Walking With The Elephants. This experience I cannot effectively put into words. It was magical, life changing and seriously the best experience of my life. If you get the chance to visit this enchanting place, be sure to walk with the gentle giants.

I recently stayed from 28 to 30 November and I was genuinely impressed. The property is wonderful and we truly enjoyed the service, the exceptional experiences and the beautiful weather. The Family Suite is also very nice and incredibly spacious. In the morning, you can see the mist with the sunrise and it is absolutely stunning. When you arrive, they have a welcome ritual where they beat the drum to announce a guest check in, and they also give you a lovely bracelet. Even on departure, there is a touching ritual of placing a flower garland on the Buddha statue as a blessing before you leave. My thanks also go to your amazing team, Khun Neptune from reception, Khun Ploy and Khun Pure from Sam Sarn, as well as Khun Tom and Khun Dome (PP) who kindly drove us on the sidecar. They shared such interesting stories about the temples we visited and even took us to the chrysanthemum field. A big thank you as well to Khun Mor, who walked with us to see the elephants in the morning, and to the PP mahout team. We had such a delightful stay and a truly memorable experience at Anantara Golden Triangle. I really, really love this property.

We had the most special and magical experience at the Anantara Golden Triangle with our boys. This is a true 5 star property that is as unique as they come. The service and experience were outstanding, the resort facilities and rooms were on theme and well kept, maintained, and beautiful. The breakfast was very good and Samsarn restaurant was worth it and one of the most unique and delicious meals we’ve had in Thailand. You must do the Walking with Giants tour, we got to spend an hour and a half with the elephants, feed them walk with them on their morning walk and watch them interact - this is an experience like nothing we’ve ever done before. We were so happy with the entire staff on the resort, especially the Samsarn team and CJ at the Explorer desk. We will certainly come back and visit for another memorable experience.
