Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort, Thailand

Overview

Set high on a jungle-clad ridge overlooking the meeting point of Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos, Anantara Golden Triangle is a sanctuary of culture, wildlife, and luxury. Surrounded by 160 acres of bamboo forest and lush gardens, the resort’s design draws on traditional Lanna style with teak wood, silks, and local craftsmanship, all framed by panoramic views of misty valleys and the Mekong River.

The 61 rooms and suites each feature private balconies or terraces where you may glimpse elephants roaming below. For a more adventurous stay, the exclusive Jungle Bubbles and Explorer Tents combine safari-style living with contemporary comfort, offering extraordinary vantage points over the surrounding wilderness. Throughout the property, an emphasis on immersion and discovery is balanced by refined amenities and thoughtful details.

The elephant camp lies at the heart of the experience. Guests can walk alongside rescued elephants, learn about their care from mahouts, or observe them bathing in the river, all guided by the work of the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation. Days unfold at your own rhythm, whether exploring hill-tribe villages, drifting along the Mekong on a long-tail boat, or simply relaxing at the infinity pool with sweeping three-country views. Dining ranges from authentic Thai flavours at Sala Mae Nam to elevated international cuisine at Baan Dahlia, alongside treetop dining and private jungle picnics.
