We stayed at Anantara Elephant Camp for two nights, part of a two-week mother/daughter trip to Thailand. Our stay there exceeded our already high expectations. The setting is beautiful; from our room or from the infinity pool, we could look down into the beautiful valley where the elephants roam. The service is impeccable - from the dining staff (Kat was wonderful!) to the spa where Poy gave me the best massage I've ever had. But most memorable was walking with elephants, led by a veterinarian and accompanied by several mahouts responsible for the animals' care. We could see their great care for the elephants. Thank you to all the staff, including Morn, who made our stay so special.

Hotel's Favorite
We stayed 2 nights at the Anantara Resort in Chiang Rai. The experience was sublime from start to end. It began with a heartfelt greeting from the resort GM - Serge who was extremely hospitable and convivial. The next surprise was our check in which gave us a complimentary upgrade to a suite even though we didn't even ask. The spacious room itself was incredible with a king size bed and huge bathroom including a large bath tub. But what I found most enjoyable was having a large balcony overlooking the wildlife. It was incredible to have the sun rise poke its way through the foliage and trees in the morning while we were waking up. And the grounds of the resort was impressive. I loved the scenic infinity pool which adjacent to the jungle which made for a rustic eclectic experience. The restaurant and bar was huge and in keeping in the nature theme with the wooden floors and walls. The breakfast buffet offered many healthy and delicious choices even for finicky palates like myself. The resort offered us early check in and late check out departure which allowed us to soak in this Anantara resort experience to the max. Finally, I must complement the resort staff for their incredible professionalism and superb service. Everything was done impeccably well and it made for a perfect resort experience. I highly recommend this resort to anyone planning to stay in the Chiang Rai area. This was a perfect stay for us!…

We spent three nights at this hotel as part of our tour around Thailand. The service, the views, the chilled vibe is faultless! They also do amazing work as an Elephant sanctuary and we felt priviliged to walk with the Elephants in the morning and feed them in the afternoon. The gym is perfectly positioned in the trees and would definitley recomend a Thai boxing lesson with Noom! Our experience will stay with us forever!

The Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort was an absolute highlight of our trip. It was a once in a lifetime experience that combined a luxury atmosphere with the incredible opportunity to be up close and personal with the beautiful elephants on the camp. We booked the Walking with Giants and Elephant Guardian excursions on the property and had so much fun. The staff at the resort were incredible and Morn especially, who was the on-site restaurant manager one night and took care of us at dinner the other nights made us feel so welcome and special. She is incredible and we fully expect her to be managing the place when we come back in the future :). Highly recommend, the experience was worth every dollar.

Takes a while to get there, but very unique, learned a lot about elephants and the history in recent years. Did the elephant education class, elephant walk and cooking class all were very good. Staff is excellent. Would highly recommend the ‘Italian’ restaurant for dinner. No one goes there and the head chef Gino will come and greet you and explain the courses, we had the price fix. Make sure to go there at least once it’s the best dining experience in the hotel by far. It’s international not Italian. The rest is Thai and very good, and meals are included except the ‘Italian’ spot. We went there twice and were the only ones in the restaurant both times. Great for families too, nice pool and property. Make sure to go to the opium museum across the street. It was a highlight of our trip. Really adds clarity to what is happening to the USA regarding our drug problems, as Asia had the same thing occur in the 1800’s during the Opium Wars. And yes history does repeat itself….…
