Highlights

Remote Jungle Luxury: Set high on a ridge where Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar meet, Anantara Golden Triangle feels wonderfully removed from the world—surrounded by bamboo forests, rice paddies, and sweeping mountain views.
A Stay With a Sense of Place: The rooms and suites blend warm Thai textures with contemporary comfort, each opening onto balconies that look out over misty hills and the Mekong River. It’s peaceful, personal, and deeply connected to its setting.
Immersive Elephant Encounters: Home to the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation, the lodge offers ethical, up-close experiences with rescued elephants—walks through the jungle, no riding, just meaningful connection.
Dining With a View: Whether it’s sunrise breakfast overlooking three countries or Thai tasting menus paired with local wine, every meal comes with a view—and a real sense of occasion.
Tailored Experiences, Thoughtfully Delivered: From longtail boat rides along the Mekong to private cooking classes and hill tribe visits, the experiences here are crafted to give you a deeper feel for the region.
Wellness in the Wild: The jungle spa is tucked into the hillside and open to the breeze. Traditional Thai therapies, herbal compresses, and outdoor soaking tubs make it easy to slow down and soak it all in.

Giving back

Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort has a long-standing commitment to sustainability and community support. Since 2008, the resort has eliminated single-use plastics and introduced refillable bathroom amenities, alongside robust recycling and biogas production systems for food waste. Water-saving fixtures and energy-efficient appliances have been installed throughout the property, and a solar panel initiative is underway to generate up to 35% of its electricity.

The resort’s organic garden, Suan Sai Jai, supplies fresh herbs, vegetables, free-range eggs, and honey to its kitchens, with additional produce sourced from local farmers. Their dedication to animal welfare is evident through their support of the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation, which rescues elephants from urban environments and provides ongoing care and veterinary services. Guests are invited to learn about ethical elephant experiences as part of their stay.

Anantara also supports the surrounding community by partnering with local artisans and performers, integrating cultural exchanges into the guest experience and offering economic opportunities that help preserve regional traditions.

What is nearby?

Anantara Golden Triangle is perfectly placed for venturing into the wild and culturally rich landscapes of northern Thailand. One of the standout experiences is spending time at the on-site elephant sanctuary, where guests can join conservation experts on forest walks with rescued elephants – a rare chance to witness these animals behaving naturally in their jungle habitat. The surrounding countryside is ideal for guided treks through bamboo forests, visits to local hill tribe villages, or exploring the ancient ruins of Chiang Saen, one of Thailand’s oldest cities.

Those with an adventurous streak can set off on longtail boat trips along the Mekong, cross into neighbouring Laos for a market visit, or hop aboard a tuk-tuk to explore temples tucked away in the mountains. Cooking classes, river picnics and guided tea tastings at a nearby plantation round out a long list of ways to experience this unique corner of the world. A dedicated excursions section would help highlight the variety of full- and half-day adventures available here.

Activities can be booked with us in advance or upon arrival. To secure the best possible guide for your experience we recommend booking these in advance.
