Imagine waking up to the sound of rustling bamboo, the distant call of exotic birds, and the soft footsteps of elephants meandering through the valley below. Picture yourself gazing out over the vast jungle, where the mighty Mekong River snakes its way through mist-covered hills. This is not just a dream—it’s the adventure that awaits at the Mekong Explorer Tent at Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort.
Perched atop a lush hill, this exclusive retreat offers breathtaking panoramic views of Northern Thailand—a sanctuary where starlit skies and dense jungle meet. This isn’t just a stay; it’s an immersive expedition into nature, filled with adventure and discovery.
Where Three Countries Converge
Just four kilometers from the legendary Golden Triangle, where Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar intersect, the Mekong Explorer Tent is hidden within a sprawling 65-hectare bamboo forest. From your private terrace, witness the mesmerizing sight of the majestic Mekong River, the lush jungle, and a herd of 20 rescued elephants roaming peacefully below—an experience that exists nowhere else in the world.
A Luxurious Haven for Explorers
Designed for the modern adventurer, the Mekong Explorer Tent blends raw nature with refined elegance. The two spacious bedrooms are crafted with exquisite materials, including rich leather, solid wood, and authentic Jim Thompson fabrics. Every element in the tent reflects local artistry: sustainable Sawanabondin tea, handcrafted Kad Kakao chocolates, elephant-shaped butter cookies, crispy mushrooms from DoiTung, and a traditional Praewa fabric bag from the Lanna hill tribes. Each room boasts an en-suite bathroom and an oversized king-size bed for the ultimate comfort. Outside, two private terraces await, each featuring a 5×3 meter infinity pool and an open-air bathtub, offering a tranquil escape in the heart of nature.
Unforgettable Jungle Experiences
A stay at the Mekong Explorer Tent is an adventure in itself. Arrive in style by traditional boat, then dive into a world of exhilarating activities. Soar above the jungle on a Sky Bike, indulge in all-inclusive gourmet dining, enjoy unlimited non-alcoholic beverages, and gain exclusive access to the Hall of Opium Museum. Each night, guests can select from an array of immersive experiences, including walking with elephants, a Spice Spoons cooking class with a local market visit, a 60-minute spa treatment, or a private yoga session amidst the lush jungle.
Soon, the adventure will reach new heights with the introduction of Mekong Explorer Suites. Inspired by the legendary Mekong explorers, these suites blend traditional Thai elements with colonial influences. Expect dark wooden interiors, vintage-inspired travel trunks, and elephant-themed décor. Each suite features a jungle-view balcony, a Thai daybed, a rain shower, and a private bathtub on the terrace—an idyllic retreat for adventure seekers looking to unwind in style.
