Hotel Experiences

Lovers of Thai food can immerse themselves in the local cuisine at the interactive Spice Spoons cooking class. The all-encompassing experience begins with a visit to a local market and a temple breakfast picnic. Back at the resort, there's a tour of the herb and vegetable garden, followed by tutorials on Thai ingredients, their varying flavours and the health benefits they bring. Finally, cook your own fragrant favourites, from Thai fishcakes to spicy coconut soup, before savouring your creations for lunch. Offering another unique experience, the new Jungle Bubbles invite you to spend an unforgettable night observing Thailand's majestic elephants in their natural habitat, from the comfort of a fully-furnished, air-conditioned and completely transparent bubble.

Wildlife Encounters

A stay at Anantara Golden Triangle is all about the group of rescued elephants that call the camp home. When you arrive, a gong will be sounded to let the elephants know you've arrived, while there are a range of once-in-a-lifetime activities to help you really get close to the gentle giants. You can stroll alongside them and watch them bathe in the river on the 'Walking with Giants' experience, or learn more about the incredible animals, their biology and conservation with the ELE Elephant Learning Experience. You can also enjoy a gourmet picnic accompanied by elephants, or they can greet you at the banks of the Mekong River for a true VIP arrival to the resort.

Green Leaf

Offering luxury escapes with a purpose, Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort places the preservation of nature and local culture at its core. As a haven for rescued elephants, the resort’s dedication to wildlife protection is unquestionable, with regional conservation projects expanding its reach. Environmental consciousness is key, with initiatives to reduce single-use plastics and innovative waste reduction projects, such as converting cooking oil into diesel and producing biogas from food waste. The resort not only protects but also utilises its tropical surroundings for good, harnessing the energy from the sun using a network of solar panels and providing homegrown ingredients for its restaurants from a flourishing garden and apiary. Community programs strengthen ties with local villages, ensuring the benefits of tourism go beyond the boundaries of the hotel.

Romance

The resort's dreamlike setting, unique animal interactions, outstanding food, decadent spa treatments and warm Thai hospitality all combine to make this an intensely romantic destination. After a leisurely breakfast and a morning with the elephants, couples can retreat to their well-appointed rooms, rest on their elegant daybed and luxuriate in the tranquil environment. For an intensely relaxing shared spa experience, an afternoon couples massage is recommended, before savouring delicious Thai delicacies and traditional music by candlelight.

Spa Breaks

The terrazzo and teakwood suites of the spa, set above the verdant Thai jungle, provide the idyllic sanctuary for a spa retreat. Ancient Thai remedies alongside pioneering treatments from across the globe provide both tranquility and rejuvenation. The spa's 'Balance Wellness' concept provides a flexible approach to health while on holiday. Whatever your focus, be it weight loss, de-stressing or anti-ageing, specific programmes can be tailored to include nutrition, classes, wellness seminars and healing therapies. Visiting wellness masters, handpicked by Anantara, offer private healing sessions.

Culture & History

The Golden Triangle offers a rare medley of ethnic influences, combining cultural, historical and gastronomic features from Thailand, Myanmar and Laos. The diversity of people and cultures in such a relatively small area is revealed in a guided Three Country Tour by Royal Enfield Sidecar, while visits can also be made to the nearby Opium Museum to discover the region's darker shades of history. After exploring local temples, the day can be ended in style by hopping on a cruise down the Mekong River on a longtail boat.

Temples

The original home of Bangkok’s famed Emerald Buddha, the striking Wat Phra Kaew is Chiang Rai’s most sacred temple, made officially ‘royal’ by Thailand’s King in 1978. The iconic Wat Doi Tong once epitomised the centre of the universe for devout Buddhists, whilst Wat Phra Singh boasts flamboyant frescoes and intricate wooden carvings. Opened in 1998, the unique Wat Rong Khun - or ‘White Temple’ – is a swirly-topped, wedding cake extravaganza designed by renowned Thai artist, Chalermchai Kositpipat. This massive project is still underway and is quickly becoming one of Thailand’s most extraordinary landmarks; the end product will comprise a staggering nine buildings, including a hall of relics and a living quarters for the resident monks.

Temples
Culture

The stunning mountain scenery offers great hiking trails and access to the diverse hill-tribe villages. For those not keen on trekking, visit the Hill Tribe Museum and Education Centre where you can watch an informative slide show on the hill tribes and their culture and view exhibits such as typical clothing, anthropological implements, everyday examples of the use of bamboo displays and traditional crafts.

Culture
The Golden Triangle

Visit the Golden Triangle, an area of 367,000 square miles that overlaps the mountains of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar, and where the Rivers Ruak and Mekong converge. The border location is famous for being Asia’s (and indeed the world’s) most extensive opium-producing area from the 1950s until the 21st century when Afghanistan became the biggest producer.
