Northern Thailand – The Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort

Posted by Jane Patrick · May 10 · in Thailand · about Adventure

Bask in luxury as you’re welcomed to this secluded sanctuary so aptly named the Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort. Nestled in Northern Thailand right in the heart of the Chiang Rai Jungle, this property overlooks Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos, beholding a unique intersection of beauty found only at this crossroads.





Boasting a myriad of activities that appeal to every guest’s individual interest, you’re sure to find something that will inspire that feeling of “Wow” when you stay. This marvelous hotel is the epitome of the Once-in-a-Lifetime experience we all seek. I had the pleasure of staying at the Anantara Golden Triangle in March 2024 and it was certainly an experience to remember.





Between their Canopy Treetop Dining and my Walk With the Giants experience, I found a perfect combination of adventure and relaxation at this resort. Here are my highlights that you won’t want to miss on your visit.








The most well known feature of the Anantara Golden Triangle is its renowned Elephant Camp by which you can walk alongside the gentle giants and sponsor the mahout’s ongoing conservation efforts in the region. Not only is this a heartwarming experience, but it truly touches your soul to see the elephants in their natural sphere. The team at the Anantara Golden Triangle weaves historical and cultural knowledge into their guest experience, elevating a simple tour to an educational and authentic encounter.




The rescued elephants at this sanctuary are playful and friendly, and I would recommend visiting them as a socially conscious way to enjoy elephant company. It was truly a memorable experience that I have not stopped reliving since.

Accommodation options at the Anantara Golden Triangle range from traditional to unconventional, encompassing both 5-star suites and their one of a kind Jungle Bubble experience.








No matter which accommodation type you opt for, you can be sure that the service standard here is exceptional. The Anantara Golden Triangle staff ensures sophisticated attention for all of their guests.

With this luxurious addition to your stay, you will find yourself immersed in the jungle landscape rooming in a dome-shaped enclave equipped with its own private en-suite.










Watch as elephants stroll by from dusk till dawn and feel as though you are one with nature.










The icing on the cake of our stay at the Anantara Golden Triangle was the opportunity to dine in the treetops at their Canopy dining experience, a new offering from the resort that allows you to view the breathtaking jungle scenery while enjoying the comfort of private capsule dining.








Not only was the food delicious, but feeling on top of the world (literally) was like no other.
