  Perfect Anniversary Trip

  04 Apr 2026

  Our stay with Anantara was perfect. My wife and I were impressed with the service, location, food, and activity selection. The staff were committed to making our trip seamless and magical. We especially want to thank Noon for brightening our day with pleasant conversation during breakfast, Chef MJ for an unforgettable tour of the local market and authentic Thai cooking class, and Maprang for making us feel welcome during the explorer arrival and making our walking with elephants experience very informative and special. Every detail of our anniversary trip was perfect. We loved our emaculate room overlooking the jungles of Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand. We looked forward to every meal and loved trying new cuisine. And we loved exploring the grounds of the resort and using the amenities. Everything on this trip was perfect and it was difficult leaving the resort. We appreciate the level of thoughtfulness and hospitality from the staff, and are grateful for such a wonderful opportunity. We look forward to returning to Anantara Golden Triangle Resort in the future!

  Our second wonderful stay

  24 Mar 2026

  We came here the last time we were in Thailand in 2023 and just had to come back.Our tour company provide the transfer from Chang Rai Airport, c. 1 hours drive.On arrival you are warmly greeted, including a drum beating welcome. You are then taken to the reception were they were meticulous in their dealings with us.We had a room very much like last time to the left of the main building. The room was huge and there was a lovely welcome layout on the bed. The room had a large oval shaped bath and a separate shower. There was plenty of seating in the room & I think there was a TV as well, there was tea and coffee making plus a mini bar.There are two sets of sliding doors leading out on to the balcony. They both have sliding screens to prevent insects getting in so you can have fresh air without insects. There are overhead fans and air con if needed.The balcony has two cushioned seating or laying areas, with view of Myanmar and Laos, the river, trees and grassland.So to one of the more important areas of the hotel, the bar, this has both inside and outside seating, although the latter has 4 tables. As well as drinks, there is a menu for food, which we used at lunchtime. There was a young lady serving us several times and I forgot to write her name down. All I know is she had 13 cats and as we had 3 cats, loosing 1 just before our trip, there as a considerable repour here, above the otherwise totally brilliant staff who we came in to contact with.With both Breakfast and Dinner there was a choice of buffet, menu or both! The food was excellent and if, like me, you are not a fan of hot spicy food you have no worries here at all. The restaurant is covered but there are no windows, but heating stands are available is you need them, which would mainly apply if you were on one of the tables near to the open area.There are a number of activities available, most at no cost and one activity per person per night. Some of these involve the elephants, as mentioned in my previous review we have done quite a bit with elephants in India and Sir Lanca so this was not for us. “Management” went for a couple of massages and we both went on boat ride on the Mekong. As with the last time, you cross the border in to Myanmar and Laos so if you want to tick a couple of countries off the try this. It was supposed to be 45 minutes but was in fact 1 hour 15 minutes, not that we were complaining of course. Form the rear of our room there is track which leads straight in to the jungle, lots of birds here, but put on insect repellent and take some insect bite cream.We only stayed here 3 nights rather than the 4 last time. If I was asked by someone that they could teleport me to anywhere in the world then this would be one place I would choose. Jean-Marc Pougnet, Owner at Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort, responded to this review Dear Wylie Norwich,Greetings from the Golden Triangle and thank you for choosing to return to us — it truly means a great deal.We are delighted to hear that your second stay was just as memorable, from the warm welcome and spacious room to the stunning views across the borders. Your kind words about our team are especially appreciated, and we will be sure to share your lovely mention with the colleague you connected with.It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the dining experiences and the Mekong journey — sometimes the best moments are the ones that last a little longer than expected.Most of all, your final comment truly touched us. To be a place you would choose to return to anywhere in the world is the greatest compliment we could receive.We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.Warmest Regards,Jean-Marc PougnetGeneral Manager
