Perched on a ridge overlooking the hills of Myanmar and Laos, Anantara's Golden Triangle resort is as enchanting as the region in which it is located. Explore the surrounding forest on an elephant. Spend the day rejuvenating at the Anantara Spa. To experience our Golden Triangle resort is to savour the unforgettable natural beauty of this evocative corner of Southeast Asia. And to experience it in the laid-back resort luxury that can only be described as Anantara.

Accommodation

Deluxe rooms

The best Golden Triangle rooms, with unparalleled views. From your balcony sofa you can look out over three countries or down to the infinity-edge swimming pool and luxuriant gardens below. All of our Deluxe Golden Triangle Rooms have double-sized terrazzo tubs that can be opened up via sliding glass doors onto bedrooms decorated with Thai textiles, art and wood carvings. Wooden ceiling fans and beautiful teak and terrazzo floors add a rustic, distinctly Thai style.

Burma views

Step onto your balcony in northern Thailand, and gaze towards the green hills of Burma. For views that rival the ones outside, look no further than the flat-screen TV that hangs in all 20 Burma View rooms - a modern amenity to accompany the traditional teak floors and Thai artworks surrounding it. In the bathroom, an oversized terrazzo bathtub provides an extra touch of luxury.

Suites

Luxury comes to the rustic hills of the North. Spacious, elegant and serene, the suite experience at Anantara Resort Golden Triangle is the ultimate in romantic indulgence. Lounge on your canopied balcony daybed as the sun cuts through the mist on a crisp mountain morning. A view to remember.

Our signature Anantara Suites are the ultimate in space, style and spectacular views. Spacious terra cotta bathrooms open up onto the bedrooms via fluted glass doors, where you can enjoy a romantic soak for two in an oval-shaped terrazzo bathtub, with separate walk-in shower.

In the bedroom, beautiful Thai artworks, teak wood carvings, hardwood floors, plush linens and lounge furnishings provide the ultimate in relaxation. Outside, wooden ceiling fans gently whirring, built-in canopied daybeds outfit your spacious private balcony from where you can look over the pool, the tropical gardens and over to the rolling green hills of Myanmar and Laos.

Facilities

Rich, Northern Thai curries and surprising Thai wines. Handmade Italian pasta and candelight overlooking the green hills of the Mekong Valley.  Dining at Anantara Golden Triangle is a culinary journey through centuries of Lanna culture, as well as the highlights of Old World European favourites. All in a dramatic setting overlooking three countries. 

Set amidst acres of bamboo forest, beautifully landscaped gardens and lush mountainside jungle, it is no surprise that most of our guests spend a large part of their Anantara experience outdoors. We offer you any number of ways to soak up the natural beauty of this unforgettable location with our resort's own onsite facilities and Golden Triangle resort activities.

The Golden Triangle is steeped in history and culture and Anantara's myriad of unique tours and soft adventures provide the perfect opportunity to explore. Whether it's shopping in three countries, visiting hilltribe villages, speeding down the Mekong in a longtail boat or lumbering through the jungle on the back of an elephant, you are sure to find one of our Golden Triangle resort activities to whet your appetite for adventure, culture or relaxation.

Elephant Camp

An elephant ‘drive' at sunrise. A dip in the river. Treks through bamboo groves and rice paddy. A rare glimpse at life in a traditional mahout's village. The Elephant Camp at Anantara Golden Triangle Resort & Spa is designed along the lines of the traditional mahout's villages found in the hills of Northern Thailand in the days when logging employed the majority of Thailand's elephants.

The Royal Thai Government, with Royal support, set up the Thai Elephant Conservation Centre (TECC) to act as a central body for the conservation of elephants, both domestic and wild and the communities that depend on them for their livelihood. Anantara Golden Triangle is proud to host the Northern extension of the Centre's activities.

A true highlight of the Anantara Experience at Anantara Golden Triangle, our Elephant Camp and its resident cast of jumbo beauties offers our guests a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with these gentle giants. Some of the activities on offer include:

Elephant Driving

A skilled mahout can guide his elephant through its working day with around 70 soft commands, light touches behind the ear and years of understanding between the elephant and his master. But did you know that anyone can drive an elephant? A short half-hour lesson will teach you the basic commands and actions, give you the thrill of riding on the neck of this magnificent beast and having it respond to your commands.

Elephant Trekking

A trek through our forest will include many habitat types from thick bamboo to riverine flood plain and an ideal chance to see the birds and small mammals that inhabit the area.

Elephant Bathing

During the hot weather, elephants love nothing more than to take to the water. Bathing is fun to watch and even more fun to take part in! Take a pair of sandals and some short trousers down to the Ruak River or the bathing pool, help the mahout and really get to know our elephants.

Forest Living Skills

Ask the mahouts to share their knowledge of edible herbs and jungle medicines for human and elephant. And learn the best places to search for the insects that spice up the diet of the mahout!
