Overview
Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort is perched on a bamboo-forested ridge above the point where the Mekong River meets the Myanmar and Laos borders, about an hour from Chiang Rai city. Bill Bensley-designed suites and villas look out over the Golden Triangle, paired with an on-site elephant camp, spa and multiple dining venues on a 160-acre hillside estate. As an operated ultra-luxury resort it's priced nightly or on long-stay packages rather than sold as residences, so the indicative monthly figures reflect premium long-stay rates, not everyday rent — most Chiang Rai residents visit the Golden Triangle as a day trip rather than living there.
