The Anantara is not a hotel, its a dream place, if i could give a rating 11 out of 10, i would do so. A mysthic place with wonderful poeple, beautiful rooms, incredible food, enjoying experience with elephants and fantastic activities. For us it was the highlight in Thailand and everybody who wants to experience something very special is in the Anantara Golden Triangle at the right place.

“It is a relatively expensive stay, but it is absolutely worth it. From the moment we booked, we had a little contact from the hotel as they planned to optimise our stay, then our plane landed and we were warmly greeted with a comfortable transfer. Throughout our time at Anantara there were opportunities for us to engage in thoughtful, interesting, or relaxing activities. The quality of the facilities and services were of the highest calibre, while also respecting authentic Thai culture, and being mindful of our environmental/ethical impact. We felt like we were valued at all times, and that staff would do anything to improve our stay, The friendliness, attentiveness and knowledge of the staff made for a seamless stay. We soon realised the price was an accurate reflection of the experience you can expect from Anantara, We cannot recommend highly enough, and look forward to exploring other travel destinations offered by this group.”
A Truly Unforgettable Journey & the Most Memorable Birthday Celebration
10/10
CNPYANG · Family · 2026-07-04
“There are hotel stays, and then there are experiences that stay with you for a lifetime. My birthday stay at Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort was undoubtedly one of those unforgettable journeys.
From the very first moment we arrived, every detail was thoughtfully curated, and every team member genuinely cared about making our stay exceptional.
Our arrival was warmly welcomed by Khun Nancy from the Front Office. Despite the fact that I was in the middle of an important phone call during check-in and couldn't fully pay attention, she patiently guided my family through every detail and ensured the entire arrival process was seamless. We were served refreshing welcome drinks, complete with sustainable straws made from whole lemongrass—a beautiful touch that immediately reflected the resort's commitment to sustainability.
We then took part in the traditional welcome ritual, where we received bracelets handcrafted from natural plant beads while participating in the "Riak Khwan" ceremony, a beautiful Northern Thai spiritual blessing believed to bring good fortune and positive energy. It was such a meaningful way to begin our stay.
We were then escorted to our Mekong Explorer Suite, which offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Ruak River and the meeting point of Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos. The suite itself was spacious, elegantly designed, and perfectly suited for the three of us.
Walking into the room completely took my breath away. The birthday surprises exceeded every expectation—the beautifully decorated bed, thoughtful welcome amenities, delicious birthday cake, and a bottle of Prosecco made me feel incredibly special.
For a late lunch, we ordered in-room dining and decided on the Garlic Shrimp Pizza. Surprisingly, it turned out to be one of the best pizzas we've ever had. Kudos to the chefs!
That evening, we dined at Samsarn, the resort's remarkable fine dining restaurant showcasing cuisines from the three countries surrounding the Golden Triangle. Every dish was memorable. We especially loved the Khao Soi Khwai (braised beef cheeks with Northern Thai curry noodles), Shan Stir-Fried Noodles from Myanmar, and the comforting Kai Dam Soup with black chicken wontons. The culinary experience alone is worth visiting the resort.
Breakfast the following morning was another highlight. Rather than a traditional buffet, the resort offers an elegant à la carte breakfast complemented by a thoughtfully selected semi-buffet. It gave us the opportunity to try dishes that are difficult to find elsewhere, including authentic Mohinga, the famous Burmese curry noodle soup. They also served jasmine rice with roasted duck and crispy pork, specialties well-known in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. Combined with the serene atmosphere and spectacular views overlooking the Ruak River and the three-country border, it became one of the most beautiful breakfast settings I've ever experienced at any hotel.
One of the absolute highlights of our stay was the Walking with Giants experience. Walking alongside rescued elephants while learning about their individual stories, behaviors, and conservation efforts was both educational and deeply moving. A special thank you to Khun Tiger, whose knowledge and passion made the experience even more meaningful. My mother was especially touched and still talks about it.
What impressed me most, however, happened on our final morning.
When we returned for breakfast, the team escorted us back to exactly the same table we had enjoyed the previous day. Without us saying a word, they asked whether my mother and I would like our coffees prepared exactly the same way as before. It may seem like a small gesture, but this level of genuine recognition and attention to detail perfectly represents true luxury hospitality.
Later that morning, we had scheduled the Sidecar Adventure. Although heavy rain delayed our departure by almost an hour, the team patiently adjusted the itinerary. Once the weather cleared, we explored the Golden Triangle by sidecar, visiting Wat Phra That Doi Pu Khao and Wat Sop Ruak—beautiful temples that many visitors often overlook. It became another unforgettable part of our journey.
Sadly, it was finally time to leave for our next destination in Chiang Rai city.
When we called for luggage assistance, the team arrived almost immediately—as if they had been waiting nearby. Before departing, we participated in one final farewell ritual, where we were given a floral hand garland to offer to the Buddha statue in the lobby as a blessing for safe travels and good fortune. It was such a beautiful and heartfelt way to conclude our stay.
I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the incredible team at Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort.
My sincere thanks to Khun Jean-Marc and Khun Edward for leading such an exceptional team.

My apologies if I have unintentionally missed anyone's name. Every single team member we encountered contributed to making our stay truly remarkable.
This wasn't simply a luxury hotel stay—it was an experience filled with genuine warmth, thoughtful hospitality, meaningful cultural touches, outstanding cuisine, unforgettable wildlife encounters, and heartfelt service.
Without question, this has become one of the most memorable birthdays I have ever celebrated.
Thank you, Anantara Golden Triangle, for creating memories that my family and I will cherish forever. We cannot wait to return.”

“Amazing location. Unbelievable views which include elephants and a beautiful nature and greenery.
Atmosphere is simply very elegant and with an excellent vibe.
Incredible value.
Noise level is very chill: only a soft musical vibe which does not overrule the amazing nature and animal sounds.
Service is the best part: off the charts. I was given excellent service by Dream, Samorn, Noon, Tyne.”
incredible resort, and would highly recommend!

“We had the best time at the Anantara Golden Triangle. From the moment we left the airport we were so well cared for. All of the staff at the hotel looked after us so well. Also if you have any dietary restrictions - this is the place for you, full vegan / vegetarian menu, the chefs made such lovely food and all of the Thai and western meals we had were 10/10.
The activities were also top tier, walking with rescued elephants, exploring the golden triangle and Thai cooking class were awesome. The opium museum is an essential part of the trip, the history was fascinating and I think we spent 2+ hours here. I would not hesitate to recommend the hotel to anyone. ”

“Our original room was tired looking and didn’t have a walk in shower that was advertised on the website but they upgraded us to a Mekong Explorer Suite which was modernized and very nice. Staff attitude was 10/10 but a few of the more junior staff struggled to understand orders. Food was OK. Activities were phenomenal - Cooking class, walk with elephants and spa!”

“I went here occasionally - just was looking for a place to eat at the picturesque side of golden triangle. And wow what a place ! (Of course I planned to come here even before just joking).
The service is very warm from a first step where OIL from the bar team offered an excellent service like a rainbow in the sky ;) the bar card is very rich : but I allowed to Oil to do a free style cocktail that I liked a lot : “smth spicy, not sweet”. And after the dinner experience was also amazing. Before proceed to dinner, the team showed me elephants (I came late - not time for them to be there - but team wanted to show me). And after … very memorable food experiences. I did not except a lot from a welcome apéro, but it was having a touching taste. The spring rolls were exactly what I wanted to have at that time (hot snack). The fish salad - fresh and rich in tastes - also nice choice. A dessert choice is not wide for not sweet lovers but choose ones with mango - you ll never loose. Overall - excellent experience (even despite the people working are tide from low occupancy caused by outside reasons ;(). 🩷 thanks for this evening to Pae 🧡 Palm 🩷 play 🩷 samorn 🧡 oil.”
Amazing views and delicious food!

“Our 3-night stay at Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the setting took our breath away. The views over the Mekong and the surrounding hills create a sense of peace that’s hard to put into words. It feels completely removed from the noise of everyday life. The experience with the elephants was a real highlight, done with care and respect, and something we’ll remember for years. The service throughout was exceptional, warm, attentive, and always genuine. A special thank you to K. Marc and his entire team. It was flawless from start to finish, and the level of care and attention made the entire stay feel effortless. Three nights felt like stepping into another world. We left relaxed, inspired, and already wishing we had stayed longer. Xxx”
