Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort

Sleep in the jungle, wake up to elephants

Where untamed beauty meets ethical luxury

Tucked away in the misty hills of Chiang Rai, Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort offers a once-in-a-lifetime retreat at the crossroads of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar. Here, guests awaken to panoramic views of lush jungle valleys, share breakfast with elephants, and immerse in an elevated Thai experience that honors both nature and culture.

Set on 160 acres of bamboo forest and rice paddies, this luxurious hideaway offers spacious suites and family-friendly rooms, each with deep terrazzo tubs, private balconies, and locally inspired design touches. Yet what truly sets Anantara apart is its on-site elephant camp, part of the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation, where guests enjoy ethical, no-riding interactions with rescued elephants - even from the comfort of their Jungle Bubble - a transparent dome under the stars.

Days unfold with adventures and serenity in equal measure: enjoy spa rituals in the treetops, Mekong river excursions, Thai cooking classes, or simply sip cocktails while elephants roam nearby. Whether in the open-air Sala Mae Nam restaurant or on a misty trail through bamboo groves, every moment here reflects Anantara’s blend of heartfelt hospitality and authentic connection.

Ideal for wildlife lovers, couples, and families seeking meaningful, immersive escapes with a positive impact, your stay in Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort will be filled with unforgettable moments.
