Dining

Rich northern Thai curries and surprising Thai wines. Candlelit dinners of homemade Italian pasta overlooking the green hills of the Mekong Valley. Chiang Rai dining at Anantara Golden Triangle Resort is a culinary journey through centuries of Lanna culture that sits alongside Old World European favourites at two of the Golden Triangle’s best restaurants.

Sala Mae Nam

Chef’s signature dish is the famed Khao Soi Gai, a delicious northern-style yellow noodle coconut curry with chicken.

Baan Dhalia

Chef’s specials include Signature Caesar Salad spun tableside and Parmesan Spaghetti prepared tableside in a whole parmesan wheel. Alternatively, design your own flavours from Frutti di Mare, black truffle cream, Carbonara, Trapanese pesto with Parma ham, tiger prawns with pesto and pine nut.

Elephant Bar and Opium Terrace

Swap holiday adventure stories over a gin and tonic with light snacks, or sample an inventive cocktail prepared by our friendly mixologists, served alongside hearty fare such as the signature Anantara Gourmet beef burger: prime Angus beef on a toasted ‘Sesame Kaiser Bun’ with crisp green leaves, tomato, cucumber, fried egg, Swiss cheese and mushroom.

Recreation

Set amid 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 any number of ways to soak up the natural beauty of Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle with our resort’s own onsite facilities and activities.

Elephant Camp

Designed as a traditional northern Thai Mahout (elephant trainer) village, our onsite working Thailand Elephant Camp is the setting for our most sought after Golden Triangle resort activities, offering the chance to interact with elephants in a stunning natural environment while helping to contribute to the conservation efforts of the resort.

Walking with Giants

While you meander together through the forest, you will learn more about elephant biology and behaviour from our resident veterinarian or biologist and discover more about the past, present and hopeful future for elephants in Thailand.

Spice Spoons – Anantara cooking school

Learn the delicate art of Thai cuisine, including some distinctly northern specialties. Visit the local market with the chef, learn to choose fresh produce and indigenous ingredients, then spend the morning preparing rustic but delectable curries, soups, appetizers and traditional desserts.

Black Ivory Coffee

Then enjoy an aromatic tableside serving experience, as the beans are ground by hand and brewed in the world’s most beautiful high tech machine for a clean and flavourful taste.  You’ll also be helping all of Thailand’s elephants with every single cup, since 8% of sales are donated to the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation.

Rice Planting

Try your hand at Thailand’s age-old rice cultivation methods in our own private rice paddies. As the staple food of Thailand, rice plays an important role in the daily life of Thai people. Farmers (“Chau Na” in Thai) transfer their knowledge of rice cultivation from one generation to the next and through this interactive local activity you will learn the ageless techniques for yourself.

Fitness Centre

Surrounded by the lush forest landscape and views of the resort’s fish pond garden, the fully equipped fitness centre is open from 7:00 am to 8:30 pm. Complete with treadmills, exercise bikes and weights equipment (including free weights). Relax afterwards in the sauna, steam room and whirlpool facilities.

Mountain-biking

Start the day with a ride to nearby Sai Thung reservoir; an unforgettable and invigorating mountain-biking experience whether you’re a beginner or seasoned athlete.

Native Tree Planting

Contribute to Anantara’s conservation work and leave behind a noble monument to your visit that will last for years to come. Plant a tree at Anantara and help us keep the local environment green. We’ll print a plaque or dedication with your name and care for your tree until you visit again.

Swimming

Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort is proud to be the site of the most idyllic pools in all of Asia, frequently highlighted in the global travel media. Float in the infinity edged pool looking down over the tree canopy towards the Mekong River and up to the green hills of Myanmar and Laos. Alternate with a soothing soak in the adjacent Jacuzzi.

Yoga Classes

One of our most special Golden Triangle resort activities, these classes are perfect for beginners or experienced yoga practitioners, and you can even book tailor-made classes either in your room or overlooking the resort’s stunning surroundings.

Squash Court

Challenge a companion to an energising game of squash.  The court is located at the fitness centre, open between 7:00 am and 8:30 pm, with complimentary rackets available for your use. 

Tennis

Enjoy a tennis match, any time of day or night.  Located next to the lotus pond, our outdoor court is open from 7:00 am to 8:30 pm and floodlit for evening play, with complimentary rackets available for your use. 

Petanque Field

Take time out for a leisurely game of Petanque (French boules) at the shaded field next to the fitness centre, overlooking the fish pond garden.

Anantara Spa

Terrazzo and teakwood suites set above the Thai and Burmese jungle provide the idyllic sanctuary to begin the spa journey of your choice.

Conference

Set on a mountainous ridge above the confluence of the Mae Khong and Ruak Rivers, with commanding views over the surrounding countryside of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar, Anantara is at the heart of the intriguing Golden Triangle region. Fabled surroundings and enchanting Northern Thai charm, combined with indulgent suites, personally tailored activities and superior standards of service make Anantara Golden Triangle an unforgettable setting for meetings of distinction or executive retreats.

Mae Khong Room

The spacious Mae Khong Room is large enough to host a company retreat, conference, banquet, seminar or other event of your design, complete with an outdoor terrace for breakout sessions.

Rim Khong Room

For a more intimate gathering of top-level business associates, an individual department, or small board meeting, our Rim Khong Room provides stunning views of the rolling green hills of Golden Triangle.

Wedding

Exchange rings on a hilltop overlooking three countries. Renew your vows in a land as timeless as your love. Begin your ceremony to the ancient rhythm of a traditional drum in a choreographed elephant procession. Celebrate with family and friends in the lush green majesty of Northern Thailand. Rejuvenate in the Anantara Spa. Ride together into the sunset on the back of an elephant - traditionally Thai. 

Garden Wedding

Make the greatest promise of your life with the hillsides of three countries, the mighty Mekong River, verdant rice paddies and elephants in the surrounding countryside as your natural witnesses. Revel in the opportunity of experiencing meaningful Thai traditions, including a monks’ ceremony and a well wishing water pouring ritual, or choose any other type of religious service.

Regal Elephant Wedding

From majestic elephant journeys to and from your ceremony, which can take place in a breathtaking range of locations, to the choice of Thai traditions or your own religious ceremony, and romantic spa and dining occasions, this package is designed with overwhelming romance in Anantara’s surprising signature style.
